"This should not happen... that the husband marries and after marriage he thinks that he can abuse his wife in any way," Tirath said.

The Minister said if Rahul's wife or anybody else complains to her then she will ask the NCW to take action in the case.

Kolkata-based model Dimpy Ganguly has reportedly walked out of her four-month-old marriage to Mahajan, son of late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, alleging domestic violence.

Dimpy had married Rahul with much fanfare on the Imagine TV reality show Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega in March this year.

This is the second time that Rahul, who was also involved in a drug abuse case, has been accused of domestic violence.
