Hyderabad: Buy one, get one free is the business slogan these days.
Taking a cue, poor parents of a dumb girl offered their second daughter as a bonus for their son-in-law so that they could see off their handicapped daughter in marriage.
According to police in Nalgonda district, Venkatamma - who was born deaf and dumb - was married to Saidulu in 2004, on condition that their younger daughter Rajita would also be married to him after she became a major and completed her tenth class.
Rajita was eleven-years-old then.
However, Saidulu and his parents started pestering Rajita's parents to send her to their home.
When Rajita's parents refused, Saidulu and his parents started harassing Rajita's deaf and dumb sister. They demanded an extra Rs 50,000 for Rajita had not been sent to their home.
Rajita's vexed parents lodged a complaint with the Chityala police who arrested Saidulu. Rajita said she was being married against her will and wanted to pursue her studies.
