A 29-year-old woman from Bengaluru's Indiranagar has filed a complaint with the police, claiming she is tired of her husband dressing up and acting like a woman and wants to be separated from him.

"He loves wearing a sari and uses my makeup and accessories to dress up like a woman at night," said Anitha (name changed), who works for a software company at Bannerghatta Road.

Anitha said they have been married for a year, but haven't had sex because of her husband, who works in IT sector too, was impotent and behaved like a woman.

The couple had an arranged marriage in Bengaluru after Anitha's parents, who were scouting for a groom for her in earnest, zeroed in on Naveen. "But from their first night itself, Naveen would act like a woman. He wanted to wear a sari that night," said Saraswathi, senior counsellor at Vanitha Sahayavani, a women's helpline run by the city police.

The couple is being counselled at the centre. Anitha said in her complaint that he was only interested in 'lesbian sex' with her.

"Our marriage was not consummated due to impotency and congenital defects. He behaves like a woman. He goes to work in the day, and come home and wears sari at night," said Anitha, who claimed she couldn't stand him anymore. Her husband has agreed to the separation.
