In an arrangement that can be truly dubbed as ‘Pati, Patni aur Polygamy’, a man in Gwalior decided to take to make a contract, under which he will marry two women, by dividing 3 days of the week between both his wives. Meanwhile, the understanding wives accepted to give the man Sundays all to himself! The bizarre development was reported from Pati, Patni, Aur Polygamy, and the husband in question works as an engineer in Haryana.
Rather than face jail time for the illegal act of bigamy, the man and his wives have come to an agreement that will allow the three to continue living together. According to a copy of the agreement, the man will divide his salary between his two wives and will spend Monday to Wednesday with one and Thursday to Saturday with the other, with Sunday free for him to do as he pleases. In the event of him breaking the agreement, the first wife can take him to court.
In an unusual agreement, the cunning will now divide his time between the two wives, spending three days of the week with each of them. To ensure peace and harmony, each wife has been given a separate flat in Gurugram.
The only question that now remains is – how will he spend his Sundays?
