Bengaluru techie claims wife demands cash for intimacy

In a separate incident from March in Karnataka's Bengaluru, a software engineer filed a complaint against his wife, accusing her of demanding money in exchange for physical intimacy. In response, the wife filed a counter-complaint alleging domestic abuse.

According to an India Today report, Srikanth married Bindushree in August 2022 after meeting on a matrimonial site. He alleged that even before their marriage, her mother had made financial demands, prompting him to transfer ₹3 lakh and an additional ₹50,000 for wedding expenses.

Srikanth claimed that despite being married for over two years, his wife refused physical intimacy unless he paid ₹5,000 per day. He also accused her of harassment, blackmail, and assault.

Meanwhile, Bindushree alleged that she was assaulted, treated like a servant, and harassed for dowry. In a complaint, she further accused the family of suggesting a bedroom camera to monitor her and claimed Srikanth’s brother said, “get her pregnant so she won’t leave.”

She temporarily returned to her parents’ home but came back hoping for a reconciliation.
