Udupi, Nov 30: It should be time for celebration if a husband learns that his wife is seven to eight months pregnant. A judge of a city court in Udupi got these very tidings. But the only hitch keeping him from celebrating was that they were married only last month.

And so, he wasted no time in filing a complaint of cheating against his newly wed wife.

In a complaint to the Town Police, Udupi, he has accused his wife and four others of cheating him by not informing him that the bride was pregnant during marriage.

Their marriage took place in the last week of October, 2006 and within a month he learnt that his wife is 7-8 months pregnant. In his complaint, Udupi police arrested his wife, who was preparing for a forcible and premature delivery, near Bangalore.

Police also arrested her father, mother, the broker and his assistant and produced them before the court on Nov 25.

They have been remanded to judicial custody and later released on bail, on Nov 28.
