Delhi: A Ukrainian woman married to an Indian doctor in Delhi has filed a case of harassment against her husband.
Pawan Kumar and Olena, tied the knot in 2003 and came to India to ceremonise their marriage according to the Hindu customs. In 2004 the couple was blessed with a son, Aman, and started living in south Delhi's Gautam Nagar area.
"We both were studying medical course in Ukraine and fell in love. We decided to get married and settle in India. We had a son Aman and slowly started facing domestic problems. Pawan would often beat me after consuming alcohol and we would fight on and off. In the year 2008, our second son Roman was born and I thought things will get better, but the problems only got worse. And my in-laws didn't even come to my rescue," said Olena.
Olena tried complaining to the Delhi police but all her efforts went in vain. An FIR was finally registered on Monday evening under section 498-A of IPC.
"It seems to be a case of domestic violence but the investigation is still on," said a police officer.
"I can't even return to Ukraine as my visa and passport are with him. Even our marriage certificate is with him. I don't have any documents on me. I am desperate to go back to my country. I will never return to India," said Olena.
Olena has also sought the intervention of the National Commission for Women (NCW) for getting the custody of her elder son Aman, who is still staying with Pawan.
Pawan, a practising doctor, at a hospital in Faridabad refused to comment on the issue.
