It's not just children who fall prey to the pitfalls of mobile gaming; adults are equally captivated. In a curious case from Bihar, a mother of two falls head over heels with her Ludo game partner and leaves her husband. Now, after returning from her lover's place, she demands maintenance.
An incident from Bhagalpur, Bihar has sparked conversations. Deeply enamoured during an online Ludo game, a mother of two abandons her family to join her newfound love in Uttar Pradesh.
The woman was so spellbound by love that she even forgot the affection of her own children. Upon her lover's request, she arrived at his residence in Uttar Pradesh. During this time, her husband, unbeknownst to the first wife, clandestinely married another woman.
When the first wife learned of her husband's second marriage, she left her lover and headed to her marital home, demanding maintenance.
'My in-laws troubled me endlessly,'
the wife, Pooja Kumari, claims. 'I married Gautam Kumar from Balha in 2017. His mother, sister, and sister-in-law never accepted me. The mistake I made was abandoning them for my online lover, a man from UP named Vinod. Now, Gautam has remarried without divorcing me. I demand maintenance for myself and my child, as I am beset with various illnesses and cannot sustain myself.'
Meanwhile, the husband, Gautam Kumar, denies the possibility of living together: 'I married Pooja in 2017. In 2022, she disappeared. After a fruitless search, I started laboring in Hyderabad. Later, her parents called, admitting her mistake and asking for forgiveness. Yet, I learned she had been living in UP with her online game friend, prompting me to marry again on the 17th of this month. I cannot keep Pooja with me now.'
In any case, this bizarre domestic dilemma has left the village astounded, with locals attempting to resolve the conflict at their level.
