In-laws shut door on woman for giving birth to 3 girls

HYDERABAD: A housewife approached the Saroornagar women police alleging that her husband and in-laws were unhappy with her for giving birth to three daughters and demanding additional dowry.
The victim, Ramadevi, 30, is the wife of Vaikuntham, a spice merchant from Chaitanyapuri. Seven years ago, Ramadevi married Vaikuntham and they have three daughters.A few days ago, Ramadevi went to her parent's house in Parigi with her three daughters, and when she returned on Wednesday evening, she found the house locked.
As she could not contact either her in-laws or husband, Ramdevi approached the police alleging that they were harassing her for giving birth to three daughters. She also feared that they might take away from her 80 tola gold jewellery given to her by her parents.
"Ramadevi is not willing to lodge a police complaint against the husband or in-laws. Our women police station staff is trying to counsel both the parties to amicably settle the issue," ACP, LB Nagar, B Venkat Reddy said.
