A 32-year-old Indian woman has been arrested on suspicion of “abetment to suicide” after her husband killed himself because of a lack of sex.

The woman, identified as Geeta Parmar, a resident of Maninagar in Gujarat, was taken in by police following a complaint filed by her mother-in-law.

The deceased’s mother, Muli Parmar, 55, reportedly claimed that Geeta did not have sex with her husband, Surndrasinh, during the 22 months of their married life together.

She believed the lack of sex left her son in “mental stress” as their relationship failed. 

She said that she discovered her late son and his wife were sleeping in separate beds after paying a visit to their home.

She also said Surndrasinh confided in her that he and Geeta did not have “physical relations”, the police report said. 

Muli claimed that Geeta had “taken a vow” that she would not engage in intercourse with her husband. 

She said this left him in ‘mental stress’,  Times of India reported.

“Once I had gone inside my son’s room and found that he and my daughter-in-law were sleeping on different beds,” Muli alleged in her first information report. 

“When I asked my son about this, he told me that they did not have physical relations as Geeta had taken a vow that she would not sleep with her husband.”

The couple’s married life reportedly descended into chaos, with the pair frequently fighting  before Geeta moved into her parents’ home.  

After attending a funeral on July 27, family members returned to Surndrasinh’s home where they discovered he had committed suicide. 

The deceased, a railway employee, married Geeta, his second wife, in October 2018 following a divorce two years earlier.
