Couple Forced to Marry by Police

Two Bangladeshi lovers were forced down the aisle by police after pretending to be married when they checked into a hotel.

Acting on a tip-off, officers raided the hotel and arrested engineer Mominur Rahman Chouwdury and his university student girlfriend Shefali Khatun Shelley, The Bangladesh Observer reported.

The pair, who were not engaged, were taken to a police station where the officer in charge called both their parents and told Chowdhury to marry Shelley or face a rape charge.

Chowdhury finally agreed and with the consent of both couples’ parents the wedding was solemnised at Boalia police station in the northwest city of Rajshahi.
