Hisar: A 27-year-old married woman and her 18-year-old neighbour left their homes in a Sirsa village to live together and eventually marry, police said. The two were traced to a hotel in Fatehabad after the married woman’s family lodged a missing-person complaint.DSP Rajbir Singh said police located the women and recorded their statements. They told police they liked each other and had left home of their own free will. They were subsequently taken to a one-stop centre as a precautionary measure.Police said family members tried to persuade the two to return home, but they declined. The women later left the centre, saying they intended to find work and arrange rented accommodation to live together.The younger woman is around 18 years and five months old, while the married woman had married five to six years ago and has two daughters who live with her in-laws.The DSP clarified that the families of the two women live opposite each other.Nathusari Chopta SHO Sub-Inspector Pramod said the women had gone to Fatehabad to get documents prepared for a live-in relationship, but the married woman reportedly lost some of her documents. They were attempting to obtain duplicate papers when police traced them.Police said the matter came to their notice following the missing-person complaint and that the women’s statements had been recorded. The two have since left the one-stop centre and intend to live independently in rented accommodation.
