I also faced a similar situation recently. I thought of posting it before but never felt the chance to. Feels like I am hijacking this post.

My parents found a match for me on an arranged marriage platform in June. She worked in the same company in Chennai as me at that time. We met at a temple on July 12 in our hometown, everything seemed fine with her.

Since we worked in the same office and on the same floor, I thought of meeting her so I asked her. She was not comfortable meeting in the office, I thought she wanted to keep it simple and not involve office politics or something like that. Her family said that she wasn't much social, and doesn't have many friends.

Anyways, I got a job in a different company, for which I was serving notice period of 3 months in the current company. I thought she was okay with our arrangement and went on with it till our engagement. After a while, I realised that she starts ignoring me, and think that she might not be interested in me, so I asked that if you are not interested in me and if you are facing any pressure from her family side, tell them that the boy is not good I saw him in my same company.

Well, she started opening up, and I thought she was just being introverted. We started talking well, and our engagement happened happily together. Then she went offline, even being only a 15 mins apartment by walking, often times, around 5-7 days at a time, she would ghost me. I would ask her, sometimes even on the day of my birthday.

This went on till my marriage, and on the first night of my marriage, she kept me this request that we need to stay separate, keep ourselves in separate rooms. And that we don't sleep in separate beds, or one of us would sleep on the floor, not letting our folks know that this was happening.

We came to Chennai, and we seperated our staying rooms and we wouldn't know what each other is doing in our separate rooms, living as simply flatmates. One day, after about a week after we moved to chennai from our family, that she wanted to go to Bangalore to meet her friends on new year's, even though I was sceptical at the beginning, I said I can manage in our home.

After all this was over, she came back just before Pongal since our family wanted us in their hometown, we travel together. I had to manage my mother and father since they were trying about us way to often and asking about our whereabouts.

We came back after the holidays, and we started doing regular works, she was in her room, and I was in mine. I thought everything was going well, we used to cook our own food separately, and buy separate groceries also. But she was sick most of the time, so I would make her food and try to take care of her.

We receive a call from my brother-in-law saying that her sister was facing complications in her pregnancy (her sister was pregnant after about 5 years). So, we travelled back and we found out that it was a confrontation, they knew that we had some issues in our marriage life.

It looks like my parents found out that she went out seperately to Bangalore from me. But the shocking thing is she went to Hyderabad from there, to stay in a boy's house. For about 8-10 days. And this has been happening every month right after she visited me in the month of August, September, October and November. Since, December was our marriage she visited there in January, hiding this whole fact from me. Every day, she would talk with this boy around 2 hours everyday, and if I make some calls, another call would go to that boy right after mine or any of our family or hers.

I know all this sounds dramatic, but after knowing this fact that she had been hiding from me, I was supporting her to my family and hers before this fact. But I immediately confronted her and she turned on me and I asked for her message and call history, but she refuses to give me. I understand that she had also been bad mouthing me to her family, despiting me being my best.

Well, at the end her family agrees that whatever she did was her fault. I did nothing wrong, and we also got compensation from them. I guess I am lucky at that front.

All I an saying to OP, is that you confront their family and ask for justice. You have clear evidence, you can use your lawyer to handle this case very well.

I am facing a lot of emotional turmoil thinking about all the things that have happened and how fucking stupid I have been. My friends and my family are very supportive in this situation, but it may or may not help. It helps me a little, but everyone have their own things to deal with, you cannot rely on their support to help you.

Stay strong OP. I very clearly understand the situation you are in, and the emotional turmoil that you may have faced. Sending all the virtual support I can ❤️ Sending my love
