A Tale of Romance from Court Room

I am sharing my discussion with my client; who has been fighting hard with her lover by filing rape case against him, who also happens to be a local politician. From very beginning, I had doubts that she had filed the rape case against him for extorting money.

            First, let me share her brief profile & background: She is 38 yrs old 2 times divorcee woman and mother of young son and daughter. On my asking, she informed that she had to divorce her first husband, as she caught him red-handed having sex with his maternal daughter. She claims she was so angry that she could not tolerate him for a single minute and she divorced him without any alimony.

            Then she fell in true love with a south Indian man, but this man could not adjust with his children, but she really loved him and did not want divorce. Great shock to me when she told that, “I fought with him in multiple court proceeding only because she was happy to see his face in court, which otherwise was not possible. I used to wait for the court date; eager to see his face”Then, ultimately she divorced him after settling the matter with 28 lakhs permanent alimony”

            Then she fell in love with a local politician a city Mayor. She unfolds that he treated her as wife for a long time and promised to marry after divorcing his wife. She had great attachment; but suddenly lost interest in her and told her, “I don’t remember any promise of marriage. Promises are always meant to be broken”I asked her, “lets assume that you are able to secure imprisonment of 10 years for him, what will you get”In fact, I advised her to take decision with cool mind and extract hefty amount, crores and crores from him. And, even I advised her to attend 10 days meditation camp; to cool down her head”But she replied, “Sir, money is not important for me. If he can not be mine; he can not be of any other woman” I told her, “One day he will come out of prison”Then she replied, “10 years separation from his wife is sufficient to give peace her”

            I wonder at her though process. At the cost of loosing client and fee, I tried my best to make her understand the meaning of peaceful life and think about her children, but all in vain. I am perplexed and having little bit liking for her stubborn attitude.
