A man who fell in love with his mother-in-law ditched his wife so that he could marry her.
Yet now it seems the honeymoon period is over for 22-year-old Suraj Mahto, who said he's made a mistake and wants to divorce his 42-year-old wife Asha Devi.
The couple's affair began when Mrs Devi came to stay with her daughter, Lalita and Mr Mahto in the village of Puraini in the state of Bihar last year.
She looked after her son-in-law when he became ill and when she returned home, they would speak constantly and he would also visit her at her home.
When Lalita and her father found out about the affair, they told her to stay away but she refused.
The couple then eloped and married on June 1 but now it seems the couple have realised they made a mistake and have filed for divorce.
Mr Mahto, who has a son with ex-wife Lalita, reportedly told The Gulf News: 'I have come to realise my folly now. I admit I have committed the mistake but will never repeat in future.
'Now, I no longer treat her as my wife. Rather, I have started paying her regard as a mother.'
Mrs Devi agreed and said 'No longer do I treat him as my husband but as a son-in-law. We have already a filed divorce petition in the court and I want to return to my husband as soon as possible.'
He's now begging to get Lalita back.
