45-year-old woman elopes with son's would-be father-in-law
In a twist that surprised both families, a 45-year-old woman from Ujjain district left home and eloped with her son's would-be father-in-law—a 50-year-old man—just before their children's engagement.
The two fell for each other and decided to leave together, resulting in their kids' engagement being called off.
Both families are coming to terms
Police confirmed the couple's relationship was fully consensual, with no signs of force or abduction.
As Ashok Patidar from Badnagar police put it, "Both have expressed their desire to live together."
Even after being found by authorities, the woman chose to stay with her partner despite family pressure.
With their kids' engagement now called off and no legal action taken, both families are coming to terms with this unexpected new chapter.
