    With this fake wife, I divorce thee

    KOLKATA, India
    Fri Jul 18, 2008 10:43am EDT

    KOLKATA, India (Reuters) - An Indian man who took an impersonator to court to get a divorce faces legal action after his real wife found out, lawyers said Friday.

    Oddly Enough

    Sanjib Saha presented a woman as his wife in a lower court in the eastern city of Kolkata this month. Both said they sought a mutual divorce, something the court granted immediately.

    Saha's real wife was then asked to leave the marital home. She has since appealed the ruling at a higher court, charged her husband with cheating and the original divorce was suspended.

    "The case exposed the legal loopholes in our system," Kaushik Chanda, lawyer of Saha's real wife, said.
