Marriage Fraud Alert in Hyderabad: Women Urged to Stay Vigilant!

Cases of marriage-related frauds are causing growing concern in the city, with several complaints recently reaching the Hyderabad She Teams. Fraudsters are reportedly targeting young women not only through love relationships but also through arranged marriage alliances fixed by families. The accused initially follow traditional procedures such as formal bride-viewing ceremonies and engagements, gaining trust before emotionally manipulating victims.

After establishing closeness, the offenders allegedly pressure women into physical relationships using emotional blackmail, claiming marriage is already confirmed. Later, they reveal their true intentions by demanding huge sums of money or additional dowry, threatening to cancel the wedding if their demands are not met. Due to fear of social stigma after engagement announcements, many families hesitate to file complaints, allowing perpetrators to continue harassment. Police advise women and parents to thoroughly verify the groom’s background and immediately report any financial demands or coercion. Victims can contact Hyderabad She Teams via WhatsApp at 9490616555 or dial 100 for immediate assistance.
