A woman in Ahmedabad sought help from the Abhayam women's helpline after discovering her husband, a school principal, with a former colleague. The couple underwent counseling, which resulted in the man agreeing to sever ties with the ex-colleague or face consequences.
Background of the Case
According to counselors, the woman stated in her complaint that she has been married for 16 years and has a 13-year-old child with her husband. The principal had been in a relationship with a former teacher for the past nine years. The teacher, who was married, divorced her husband a few years ago to maintain the affair, hoping the principal would do the same. She now lives with her daughter. The principal's family was aware of the affair and supported the wife.
Action Taken
The woman reported the incident to the education committee, leading to the teacher's transfer to another school. However, the woman called the helpline again after finding the former colleague at her home. During counseling, the man admitted he had tried but failed to end the relationship. He eventually agreed to stop the affair, acknowledging that he was also being unfair to the teacher.
