Love outlasts law: Man arrested for ‘kidnapping’ now wife 27 years ago in Gujarat

A man named Mahendra was arrested for kidnapping his wife 27 years after they eloped. In 1997, he and his then-girlfriend ran away together, leading to a complaint by her father. They have been happily married for decades with children and grandchildren. The case, forgotten by both families, resurfaced recently, leading to Mahendra’s arrest and subsequent release on bail.
