An Agra man has caused a stir after allegedly marrying another man in the United States, despite being married to a woman in India and without obtaining a divorce. The man, identified as Anvit Dubey, had only recently married a 35-year-old woman from Ahmedabad, near the Vaishnav Devi Circle, before moving to the US under the pretext of employment. His social media posts, which included photos from his second marriage to an American man, Vincent James, have now gone viral, bringing the matter to public attention.
Meanwhile, the woman claims that her in-laws had begun harassing her for dowry shortly after her husband left for the US. In response, she has filed a complaint at the West Mahila Police Station in Ahmedabad against Anvit and four of his family members, including his father, mother, brother, and sister-in-law. The police have since opened an investigation.
The couple had married in September 2023, with Anvit later taking his new wife to Shimla for their honeymoon, accompanied by his family. The woman alleges, however, that Anvit did not consummate the marriage during this period. After the trip, the couple returned to Ahmedabad, where Anvit stayed for two days before leaving for Agra, supposedly to finalise their marriage certificate. Shortly thereafter, he informed her that he had to leave for the United States for work. During Diwali, the woman stayed with her in-laws, who allegedly began demanding a dowry of five lakh rupees and made her perform household chores.
In her complaint, the woman stated that her husband instructed her to return to Ahmedabad to gather documents to join him in the US. However, a few months later, her brother discovered via social media that Anvit had married a man named Vincent James in the United States.
When she confronted Anvit, he reportedly justified the second marriage as a means to gain US citizenship and responded with abusive language.
Repeated attempts by the woman’s father to contact Anvit about the situation were unsuccessful. The woman has now lodged a formal complaint against Anvit and his family, and local authorities are investigating her allegations of dowry harassment, deceit and verbal abuse.
