Now he can do anything with me. I am not safe in my house. The police should take me away from here and help me marry my lover.”

They will be married in court within the next two days. The woman has also talked to her family and, in a subsequent video says that she no longer has a problem with them. However, we are continuing to monitor the situation and are providing her with security,” Singh said.
