A man in Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh, agreed to part ways with his wife of 17 years after she expressed a desire to live with a man she met on Facebook. Following her 22-day disappearance, the couple completed separation paperwork, and the wife married her new partner at a local temple.
A family in Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh, has drawn attention after a man reportedly agreed to part ways with his wife of 17 years when she expressed her wish to live with another man. The couple have two sons, and the decision has brought an end to their long marriage.
The incident was reported from the Misrikh area of Sitapur. According to media reports, the husband, Vipin Bhargava, married Rekha on March 12, 2009. They have two sons, aged 16 and 14.
Facebook Friendship Reportedly Turned Into a Relationship
According to reports citing the husband, Rekha became acquainted with Rahul Kumar Upadhyay, a resident of Ambedkar Nagar, through social media. Their friendship reportedly grew closer over time.
The situation took a turn when Rekha allegedly left home. Vipin subsequently filed a missing-person report, according to the published account. After returning home around 22 days later, on October 14, Rekha reportedly told her husband that she wanted to live with Rahul rather than continue their marriage.
Husband Agrees to Let Her Leave
Reports said that after Rekha expressed her decision, the couple completed paperwork at the Misrikh tehsil office.

According to media reports, Vipin said he no longer wished to continue the relationship and that he was content with his two sons.
Questions Remain About the Family’s Future
The separation has also raised questions about the future of the couple’s two teenage sons and how the change may affect their family life.
