An Indian woman has done something bizarre to divorce his husband. The woman named Nilofer from Thane’s Mumbra region successfully managed to divorce his husband, who works as a mechanic in the United Arab Emirates since the year 2007, by forging his signatures, so that she could marry off her boyfriend.
The woman is now on the run and her husband Yusuf Sherif Mastan has filed a complaint of cheating against her. She also sold off their house and took away the money.
As per the report in Times of India, Mastan works as a mechanic in the UAE since the year 2007. He would send his wife the money every month to take care of her and their son. The couple has a 9-year-old-son. Mastan worked hard and bought a house where his wife Nilofer could stay. But while he was away, she got in touch with her old boyfriend. While her husband came back into the country, he noticed a change in her behavior. She would always be on the phone and refused to answer to his queries.
Things turned worse in the year 2017 when Mastan came back and Nilofer refused to meet him or even come to their house.
S B Shinde, an investigation officer of Mumbra police station was quoted, “With no options to stay, he shifted to a lodge at Shilphata and after making some discreet inquiries, he learned that the house had been sold off for Rs 32 lakh and the money handed over to his wife.”
A lawyer intervened in the case and reportedly got Mastan’s signature on a stamp paper that mentioned the couple was staying separately due to work.
But when Mastan returned to the country early this year, he received the divorce papers which showed his signatures in April 2017, when he was actually working abroad.
Shinde said, “We have verified his passport documents, visa papers, etc and it is clear he landed in India only after that date. Charges of cheating, forgery and marrying again while spouse is alive have been filed.”
If convicted, Nilofer can face up to 7 years of jail. But currently, Nilofer is out on anticipatory bail in Thane sessions court.
