Tirumala Math Wedding Turns Chaotic As Man’s First Wife Crashes His Second Marriage

Marriage in India is often seen as a commitment, reflecting cultural values and societal norms. Some marriages don’t work out for many reasons, such as abuse and domestic violence. Recently, another such incident has come to light from Pedda Pendyala village of Warangal district in Telangana, where a man named G Rakesh got married to Sandhya at Sri Siddeshwara Math in Tirumala in April 2016. Rakesh’s family took a dowry of 15 lakh rupees and many gold ornaments.

The two were blessed with a baby girl. Following that, their married life was hit by bickering and quarrels. When their kid, Manvi, turned 6, Rakesh approached the family court demanding a divorce from Sandhya. But Sandhya did not agree to go apart, and she pleaded with the judge in the court to let her stay with her husband.

As a result, the court ordered Rakesh and Sandhya to live together for a few years and solve their conflict. But things turned out even worse for Sandhya, as Rakesh started torturing her and his family members threatened to kill her if she entered the house.

Frightened by the thought, Sandhya ran away to her parents’ house with her daughter. Their divorce case was still under process in the court; meanwhile, Rakesh was planning for her second marriage with Aparna, who resides in Tellagadda, Hyderabad.

Things went as he expected, and he got married to Aparna at Sri Siddeshwara Math in Tirumala. His first wife Sandhya, along with their daughter Manvi, arrived at the place and got into a fight with the newlyweds in the Kalyana Mandapam of the Siddeshwara Math. Scared of the situation and realizing that the fight would turn big, Rakesh ran away with Aparna.

The news of Rakesh’s second marriage spread like wildfire, and the administrators of the Siddeshwara Math came to know about the matter. They reached the Tirumala Police Complex, and the cops started investigating the matter.

Meanwhile, devotees are furious after hearing about this incident happening in Tirumala. They suggested the officials take special measures to prevent such marriages from happening. The locals also demanded strict regulations in math so that second marriages, which destroy families and lives, were completely stopped in Tirumala.
