35-Year-Old Sets Himself Ablaze Over Wife's 'Fifth Marriage', Dies

The man from Indore was the fourth husband of the woman and they got married in 2018. The woman had been living with her parents since last year.

A 35-year-old man, who had set himself on fire in Indore last week following a dispute with his wife - whom he accused of marrying for a fifth time - succumbed to his injuries on Saturday, police said.

The man who died was the fourth husband of the woman, an official said, adding that police are investigating whether her purported marriage for a fifth time was the trigger behind the suicide.

"The deceased, Sunil Lohani, was the fourth husband of the woman, whom he married in 2018. However, their relations turned sour last year and the woman started living with her parents," police inspector Shailendra Singh Jadone told PTI.
