Patna: Asharfi Devi
ran from pillar to post for 24 years to get a certificate to prove
that she is still alive.
A resident of Barun village in Rohtas district, the woman in her
mid-40s is happy like never before.
"In 1988 my husband Ramjanam Singh declared me dead and married
another woman. He also managed to get made my death certificate so
that I don't claim his property," she said.
Asharfi told IANS that she approached police, courts, the district
police chief and district magistrate seeking justice but nothing
happened.
"Finally, I approached the Suryapura panchayat for a certificate
to prove that I am alive. A woman sarpanch, Sandhya Sinha, helped
me."
Early this week, Asharfi was declared "alive" at a crowded meeting
of the panchayat.
