Chakaria representative: After three and a half years of love, the Taher-Arju loving couple is going door to door with relatives and public representatives to get family recognition of their secret marriage. However, on the pretext of unequal love and kidnapping, Arzu’s family has already filed a case against Taher as defendant No. 1 in the Cox’s Bazar Women and Child Torture Prevention Tribunal.
This incident has created a sensation in the area. The incident took place in Piazzakata village of Khutakhali Union Ward No. 6 of Chakaria Upazila of Cox’s Bazar. Although the couple got married in the affidavit, they are currently fleeing the area due to fear of the police. According to the locals and the son’s family, three and a half years ago, Taherul Islam (21), son of Mamunur Rashid of Piyajjyakata village of Khutakhali union of Chakaria upazila, developed a love relationship with Tasfia Jannat Arju, daughter of Mohammad Hosain of Madrasapara village, the new office of Islampur union of adjacent Eidgaon upazila. To complete their love relationship, they got married secretly on the basis of the affidavit of the Cox’s Bazar Notary Public on July 3.
When the matter became known among the family, Arju’s mother, Samina Akhtar, became the plaintiff and filed a case against Taher in the Cox’s Bazar Women and Child Torture Prevention Tribunal. Taher’s younger uncle, Master Abu Saeed, has been charged with conspiracy. But he did not have the slightest involvement with this incident. Although the couple demanded from both families that they bring her home with family and social recognition, they are currently out of the area due to the case filed by Arju’s mother.
Taher said that if Arju pressured me to get married, I used to waste time by saying today and tomorrow. In the meantime, when the matter came to light, his family cut off contact. Finally, I forced Arju to come back to me. For this reason, I married him through a notary public. However, Taher’s family refused the marriage and claimed that there was no contact with his son.
Father Mamunur Rashid said, “We are poor.” So Arju’s mother refused to give my son the status of husband. My son has been homeless for the past month. I wish for justice in this case. When asked to know, Tasfia Jannat Arju’s mother, Samina Akhter, told me on the phone that whether she gets married or not, I want my daughter to appear. I have filed a legal case. But when asked why an innocent person has been made an accused, he could not give any answer. Local ward member and panel chairman of Khutakhali Union Noor Mohammad Petan Munshi said talks are going on with two families.
The girl’s claim is also logical because she came voluntarily. No one kidnapped him. Meanwhile, the locals want to compromise between the two families. They are trying. However, the matter is under the attention of the Thana police.
