Daijiworld Media Network - Hassan (SP)

Hassan, May 7: In a deviation from the routine practice of women going to publications with the travails they undergo at the hands of husbands and in-laws mostly demanding more dowry, a government official addressed a press conference here to lament the fact that he has been put through tribulations and horrible experiences by his wife.

M A Prabhakar, working as junior engineer in Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Company, told the reporters that his wife has been inflicting harassment and problems to him by misusing the sympathy normally women get from the society, and by using the couple's two daughters.

'It has been 24 years since I married. We have two daughters. Within eight months of the marriage, she had severed our relationship and walked away. With the interference of elders in two families, I agreed to live with her again and have been doing my best to maintain our relationship. Everyday she fights with me, and many a time, she tried to murder me. I suspect that her aim may be to bag job on compassionate ground once I die,' he explained.

Prabhakar said his wife had filed police complaints against him. Unable to bear agonies heaped on him, he had got himself transferred to Bengaluru, but his wife had engaged in malicious propaganda about him thereafter and got himself transferred again to Hassan by complaining to higher officials, he claimed.
