Hello
A man, who was a woman's partner without legal marriage, cannot be prosecuted under Section 498A
Vadakara MLA and Revolutionary Marxist Party leader KK Rema raised the issue as an adjournment motion.
Five persons in custody and efforts are on to bring back the victim's husband from Israel.
The couple had divorced just five days prior, following a history of domestic violence and a previous allegation of molestation against Sreejith in 2021
Two accused were taken into custody on Friday.
The woman justified that she punched the man in his face in self-defence.
She had an aversion to her name Dhanya, which meant 'blessed' as she felt she lost her childhood and younger days when she stuck to that name-Dhanya.
The accused, B Anandan of Telungupalayam, was arrested based on a complaint filed by the 21-year-old physiotherapy student.
In a recent video released online, the woman questioned whether the legal system would give her another chance to reveal the truth.
The complainant had recorded the act on her mobile phone.
