A recent incident in Bihar’s Jamui district came to light when a young man married twice within a month has been grabbing headlines. In both cases, he went to meet the women at their house and was caught twice, after which villagers got him married. This case was registered at the Malaypur Police Station area of Jamui, where at the age of 19, a young man married two women.

Son of Pradeep Tanti, Vinod Kumar, is a 19-year-old young man and a resident of Akshara village. He met Preeti Kumari, a resident of Navkadih village of Lakshmipur police station area, on Facebook. Reportedly, the woman was already married and had a child, but she had fallen in love with Vinod, and both did not care about her previous wedding or family.

Vinod Kumar planned to meet Preeti and on April 22, he reached her house to meet her. But to his utter shock, the villagers noticed him there, took the couple to the temple and got them married forcefully. Vinod returned to his house with the woman and started living like a married couple.

However, this love story comes with a twist. Before getting married to Preeti, Vinod had an affair with another woman. Reportedly, Vinod used to work as a DJ in the village and often played the song recommendations of a woman named Girija Kumari. Impressed by this, Girija and Vinod started talking to each other and their conversations led to them growing close and falling in love with each other. Despite his marriage to Preeti Kumari, he kept in touch with Girija and continued the affair.

He hid his affair with Girija Kumari from his first wife and family. One day, he reached his girlfriend’s house but unfortunately, once again, he got caught by the villagers there. They took the couple to the temple and got them married forcefully. Within 20 days, he got married to two women. While his first wife, Preeti filed a complaint at the police station about his husband remarrying for the second time, his second wife, Girija disclosed that she has no objection and can live with their family.

In an interview with Local18, Police Officer Mahesh Singh shared that no written complaint has been formally lodged in this regard. If a complaint is made, then the police will take action.
