Unlike the happy wedding of two Jharkhand women a few years back, attempts to separate a lesbian couple in Aligarh district of Uttar Pradesh allegedly prompted one of the girls to get the husband of the other murdered by hired assasins.

Unable to bear separation from ‘her love’, 24-year-old  Suman, a nurse by profession, allegedly hired three assailants, who shot dead husband of her girlfriend Anita near Haiwatpur village under Atrauli police circle in Aligarh, about 400 kilometres from here, on Thursday, according to the police.

The two girls came into contact with each other four years back while they were studying in a girls’ degree college in Aligarh. They later married at a temple in Moradabad district in 2006, told office in-charge of Atrauli police station Onkar Nath Singh to Deccan Herald on Sunday.

Suman has been arrested and has confessed to had plotted the murder of Anita’s husband Rajendra, Singh said adding that the killers were however yet to be nabbed.Suman too had to marry under family pressure two years back but she later separated after being forced by 23 year old Anita, also a nurse, who was feeling lonely.

On April 21, Anita’s parents also got her married to one Rajendra of Haiwatpur village much to the dislike of Suman, who vowed to get her ‘love back’ under any circumstances and hence took the extreme step.

A few years back two girls from Allahabad had eloped and later married prompting a hue and cry in society.  According to psychologists,   girls, when denied permission to meet the opposite sex, often get emotionally involved with their own sex and later develop intimate relations.
The lesbian wedding in Jharkhand in 2005, but, was a happy one with the support of their families
