    Robber bride married 12 people, then…

    Srinagar. Shaheen Akhtar, a 30-year-old woman in Jammu and Kashmir, has been arrested for allegedly duping over a dozen men into contract marriages. The victims alleged that she married them, then ran away with Mehr’s money and gold. The arrest was made following a complaint lodged by Mohd Altaf Mar, which unearthed several similar cases. Following Mohd Altaf Mar’s complaint, several people shared similar stories of being duped by Shaheen Akhtar. However, the police are still in the process of establishing a complete list of victims. Mohammad Altaf Mir, a victim from Budgam, revealed that he was introduced to Shaheen through a middleman.

    After their marriage, they lived together for four months, then she disappeared, taking the cash and gold with her. Based on the complaint of Mohammad Altaf Mir, a case was registered against Shaheen under sections 420 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code. These sections pertain to cheating and criminal conspiracy. On 14 July, Shaheen Akhtar was apprehended, marking a significant development in the investigation. Meanwhile, a group of men gathered at the Budgam court complex on hearing that Shaheen was seeking anticipatory bail, claiming that she had married and abandoned them as well.
    Explain that, in a Muslim marriage, a contract is established, and a predetermined amount called “mehr” is to be given by the bridegroom to the bride. It acts as a financial security for the bride and shows the commitment and responsibility of the groom towards her. However, Shaheen allegedly fled with the mehr money soon after each marriage, leaving the victims in financial straits and emotional turmoil. Police is probing the case to identify all the victims and gather evidence against Shaheen Akhtar. It is important to establish the full extent of his alleged fraudulent activities and ensure justice for the victims who have suffered financially and emotionally.

    The authorities are working towards building a strong legal case against Shaheen and holding him accountable for his actions. This incident highlights the importance of vigilance and thorough background check while entering into contract marriage or any matrimonial alliance. This serves as a reminder for individuals to exercise caution and verify the credibility of potential partners and intermediaries. Raising awareness about such fraudulent practices can help prevent others from falling prey to similar scams in the future. Shaheen Akhtar’s alleged cheating case in Jammu and Kashmir has shocked the community, involving contract marriage and embezzlement of Mehr’s money. The arrest and ongoing investigation provide hope for justice to the victims who were defrauded and duped. It also underlines the importance of building trust through transparency and thorough scrutiny while entering into matrimonial agreements.
