A woman from Gujarat's Surat has alleged that her husband pressured her to participate in wife swapping just three months after their marriage, claiming it would improve their financial condition, provide enjoyment and help them meet new people. The woman, whose identity has been withheld, said she refused and later approached authorities after allegedly facing harassment and physical abuse.

The allegations have gained attention after a video of the woman sharing her experience went viral on social media, sparking discussions about the practice of wife swapping and its alleged presence in some social circles.

Woman Alleges Husband Introduced Her to Concept

According to the woman, identified as "Seema" (name changed), her husband first raised the issue a few months after their marriage in 2022.

She claimed she was shocked by the proposal and immediately refused to participate.

How the Alleged Network Operates

According to Seema, participants allegedly create Facebook accounts using different names and upload selected photographs of themselves as couples.

She claimed interactions begin through social media chats, followed by video calls and casual meetings at public places such as tea or coffee shops. According to her account, some couples later arrange outings and book hotel rooms where they spend time together.

Seema alleged that groups involved in such activities include both affluent and middle-class individuals and that gatherings are organised multiple times each month.

Allegations of Pressure and Abuse

The woman alleged that while some participants join voluntarily, others may face pressure from their spouses.

She claimed that when she refused to participate, she was subjected to physical abuse by her husband.

"I was beaten. I have also filed a case against my husband. Currently, my case is ongoing in the police and family court," she said.

The status of the case and the allegations made by the woman have not been independently verified by authorities in public statements.

Appeal to Gujarat Government

In a video shared online, Seema appealed to Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi to intervene in the matter.

"Many sisters and daughters are trapped in this, but they cannot talk to anyone. May my message reach Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi. I want to meet him and make a representation. This is a serious issue. This evil is spreading in society and breaking homes," she said.

What Is Couple Swapping?

Couple swapping refers to a practice in which consenting couples agree to exchange partners for intimate relationships. The activity is often discussed in the context of private social groups and is generally based on mutual consent among participants.

Experts note that participation in such arrangements varies widely and remains a sensitive social issue. However, any form of coercion, intimidation, blackmail or abuse connected to such activities can attract legal consequences under existing laws.

Legal Position

Legal experts note that Indian law does not specifically define or regulate "couple swapping" as a separate offence. However, any activity involving force, coercion, threats, domestic violence, blackmail or non-consensual s*xual acts may attract criminal charges under relevant provisions of law.

The allegations made by the Surat woman are currently part of ongoing proceedings before police and family court authorities.
