In bizarre case, 8 years after marriage Vadodra woman finds husband was earlier a woman

In an absolutely bizarre case, a 40-year-old woman from Vadodra in Gujarat Vadodara learned after 8 years of her marriage that her husband used to be a woman and had undergone a sex-change surgery to become a man.

In the first information report (FIR) filed in the Gotri police station, Sheetal accused Viraj Vardhan, who was Vijayta earlier, of “unnatural sex” and cheating. She also named his family members in the FIR.

The accused, who is a resident of Delhi, has been brought to Vadodara.

The woman’s first husband died in a road accident in 2011, leaving her with a 14-year-old daughter at the time.

According to The Times Of India, Sheetal told the police that she came into contact with Viraj Vardhan through a matrimonial website nine years ago.

They were formally married in 2014 in the presence of family members and even went to Kashmir for their honeymoon. “However, the man didn’t consummate the marriage and kept giving excuses for many days. When she pressured him, he claimed that an accident that he had suffered while in Russia some years ago rendered him incapable of having sex,” the newspaper cited the police as saying.

The accused reassured the woman that he would make a full-recovery after a minor surgery.

He allegedly began to have “unnatural sex” with the woman and threatened her that she would face terrible consequences if she revealed the truth to anyone.
