Couple embraces Islam for remarriage, arrested

KAITHAL: Having enjoyed police hospitality while being in the safe house following court orders, a lovelorn couple is now cooling their heels in a lock-up, for solemnizing a remarriage without divorcing their respective spouses, by embracing Islam.

Surender Singh aka Salim, a resident of Patti Afgan, and his second wife Surender aka Sania Mirza, a resident of Arjun Nagar here, are currently lodged in jail after they were arrested in a cheating case lodged on a complaint by Surender Singh’s first wife Mukesh Rani last month. Enquiries revealed that Salim and Sania had married last month following their extra marital affair.

They embraced Islam as they were married and had children. The two eloped to marry and returned to protection house following a court order. Meanwhile, Salim aka Surender’s wife Mukesh Rani moved an application which was put before the court. The court had asked police to proceed after investigating the case. The court had also ordered cancellation of police protection for the re-married couple after conversion and asked the cops proceed on the complaint of Mukesh. Said Sirandeep Singh, SP, Kaithal, “A case has been registered against Surender (now Salim) and Surender Kaur (now Sania Mirza) on account of torturing spouses and re-marriage without divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act.”
