<b>Chennai woman escapes dowry torture in US</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Chennai: In a shocking case of dowry harassment, a Chennai-based woman was forced to flee from US and take refuge with her family in Tamil Nadu. Muthumari Bhadrinath says she escaped her husband’s torture after eight years of marriage.

Finally in the safety of her family, the 38-year-old has now filed a complaint with the Chennai police.

<b>“He abused me physically, beat me for 15-20 minutes daily. He bit me on my hands. When I requested him to take me to a doctor, he took me there and told the doctor it was a bee bite,” </b>she says.

<b>With no help in America, she flew back to Chennai</b>, leaving her four-year-old daughter behind. She says her daughter suffers from a heart disease.

Now, with the help of Congress leader Jayanthi Natarajan, Muthumari is beginning her fight to get her daughter back.

“I'm going to definitely move that embassies of all countries should have a hotline number where women of Indian origin can contact them if they're in trouble and seek help,” says Natarajan.

The Chennai police say say they have contacted Muthumari's husband in the United States and will file an FIR.

She could have told Doctor during examination, she could have called 911. Lot of thing she can do. If her husband is abusive, US is a best place to put such person in right place. It is very easy. Some how, I don't buy her story.
In fact, just yesterday, I reported such incidence to local authority and it seems they had taken action. Couple is either Gujarati/Marathi. Not sure who is abusing who, but they fight lot and it starts around 1.30 am and last till 4 am. I think I am abused by them, by not getting sleep. <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
