The Story in Brief
A case has been registered against a teacher in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district after his wife of 28 years accused him of beating her with sticks and a rolling pin, fracturing her leg, and forcing her out of their home over his second marriage. The complainant, Suman Kumari, said she married Baidyanath Kumar Yadav on May 2, 1998, and that he harassed her for dowry before taking a second wife in 2021.
Suman alleged that on August 7, Yadav told her he wanted to live with his second wife and attacked her when she objected, even attempting strangulation. Neighbours intervened, and she was taken to hospital. Yadav denies all charges, claiming Suman had agreed in 2015 to separate and that he was not home that day. Police have invoked sections including causing grievous hurt and cruelty.
The Indian Opinion
Another dowry case, another second marriage, another fractured leg. The convenient pattern of a husband claiming a written agreement from a decade ago while the wife's medical records show fresh injuries is too familiar. The real test here is not just the police investigation but whether the teacher faces any immediate suspension from his job. If he continues to draw a salary while his wife heals in a hospital, that silence will speak louder than any denial.
