In Pratapgarh, UP, due to greed for property, Kalyugi sons had kept their parents separated for a long time. Not only this, a case was also filed between the two couples. But on Saturday, as soon as the 90 year old groom and 86 year old bride garlanded each other, the entire family court erupted in applause. Taking the Constitution as witness, both of them resolved to support each other till the end of their lives. When an elderly couple, separated because of their children, got married once again, everyone had tears in their eyes. This unique meeting was witnessed by District Judge Abdul Shahid, Chief Justice of Family Court Sureshchandra Arya, Legal Services Authority Secretary ADJ Neeraj Baranwal, Additional District Judge Sumit Panwar and other judicial officers.
Were separated because of sons
The elderly couple, putting aside all their grievances, garlanded each other in front of everyone and resolved to spend their lives together. Both said that there is no separation between them. Just because of greed for property, the son had separated both of them about a year ago. Both of them expressed their views in the court and transferred half the property in the name of both the sons. Shivprasad Pathak of Kishunganj, Pathak’s village in Kandhai police station area, and his wife Prabhu Devi, both were living separately for the last one year. In 2010, Shivprasad Pathak, who had retired from the post of supervisor of the Public Works Department, was separated from his wife by his sons over the division of property.
Not only this, the younger son, who was keeping the mother with him, had also filed a case on behalf of the mother against the father under Section 25 to pay compensation. After remarrying on Saturday, Shivprasad Pathak said that both of us had separated because of our sons. Today we have become one. Now we will never be apart. It was the sons who separated. We have two sons. A case is going on against the elder one. Many cases are registered against him. I am very happy today. After the marriage, both of them sat on a bench in the court premises and kept talking for hours. Husband and wife kept sharing old memories with each other. Both of their eyes filled with tears while talking.
