One lady said she was abused every day by her drunken spouse. After experiencing recurrent abuse, she made the decision to go back to her parents' house with her four children. The second lady said she left her spouse because he allegedly drank too much and wrongly accused her of cheating.
"Our husbands' drinking and violent behavior disturbed us. This encouraged us to pursue a peaceful, loving life. According to news agency PTI, Gunja stated, "As a couple, we have made the decision to live in Gorakhpur and work to support ourselves."
The women said that they would not allow anyone to split them up and that they were committed to being together. They intend to rent a residence even though they do not yet have a permanent residence.
