Man Caught Using Impersonator to Divorce Wife
An Indian man took a new approach to the painful process of divorce recently.
Sanjib Saha decided it would be best if he hired an impersonator to act as his wife during divorce procedures in the eastern city of Kolkata.
Both Sanjib and his fake wife said they sought a mutual divorce which the court granted.
Sanjib’s real wife found out later, when she was asked to leave their home.
She immediately appealed to a higher court charging her husband with cheating on her and faking their divorce. The court suspended the fake divorce leaving both Sanjib and his wife married once more.
“The case exposed the legal loopholes in our system,” Kaushik Chanda, lawyer of Saha’s real wife, said.
Sanjib Saha finds himself in a tough situation. If he now tries to get the divorce legally, the judge is likely to be very hard on him and rule in his wife’s favor. If he doesn’t get the divorce he has to live and stay with his wife, who he just tried to divorce with an impersonator.
I would definitely not want to be in Sanjib’s shoes…

“You gotta be female” is good enough ID for Indian courts.
Epic loophole.

I think there was probably a damn good reason for him to do that…so I can’t say I really blame the guy.
Shame he got caught ;_;

whaaaaat…can’t blame the guy? Oh YES you can and should.
he was probably trying to use someone else to fill in for his wife during proceedings only for SELFISH GAINS. I’m sure he set it up so that the “fake” wife agreed with the transfer of propertyand belongings that both earned, so it would all go to HIM!
then paid the fake wife for helping do this (or perhaps the fake wife was the mistress trying to help get it all for themsleves).
women are already treated underdogs including in India, so it is the real wife who should have the sympathy!

DC, before you go making such sweeping statements you might want to check out the laws in India regarding divorce and distribution of property. Does it actually say that the assets must be divided equally?
As for Sanjib, he is an idiot. He got caught. There are plenty of ways to get a woman out of your life. Using a substitute wife is obviously not one of them. Sheesh!

@Foster Foskin
A divorce case in India takes at least 2 years if either party contests it. (The only cases where it can happen faster is one is able to prove guilt .. abuse/cruelty or other problems)
Whereas divorce by mutual consent happens in a few months after a few counseling sessions.
Also divorce by mutual consent may not involve alimony or maybe he agreed to a one time payment which the fake wife signed as having received without any money actually changing hands.
If Sanjib had a genuine grievance against his wife he should have gone though the system (as flawed and tiem consuming as it may be.)

You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor… and would have different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO.

Story is fake. I can tell because of some of the wording and the fact that I have read quite a few fake stories in my time.
