Tejwant ji,
I very much appreciate your quick reply and your concern in this issue. I apologize for the title that has sent out false message and I have changed the same.
My only goal is to save their marriage. I strongly believe in the Sikh values and I am definitely not against Sikhs or Sikh Philosophy. I wanted to point out this issue in this forum as I have seen many such girls being spoilt in this culture and wanted it to be a warning to those parents who send their girls far away. The girls might be good before they come here but the culture is not so. Depending on their friends and work culture I have seen many girls get spoilt here. Yes. Unfortunately I know many sikh girls who get lured into the pub culture here.
Coming to the real issue, I would definitely not say that the sikh girl is an innocent victim and the only married guy has allured her . Did this girl not have enough brain or values to deny any advances from a married man? They are two well educated consenting adults working in a good software company and their ages being 30/25. I know the wife has even spoken with the girl and asked her to keep away from her husband. But even after promising that, she continues her relationship. She has moved away from a girls hostel into a house just for this guy.
I am not supporting the hindu cheating husband either as I am sure he is a cheap, stupid, treacherous guy to cheat his wife of 5 years. Though his parents,friends and relatives have advised him, he is not listening to them. He drinks a lot and cheats all the people around him.
I am deeply concerned for his wife who at this point is seriously depressed and seems to have lost her life and everything. The guy’s family and the wife’s family are aware of this affair and since then he has left his wife and is absconding. Noone is aware of his whereabouts. The wife’s family has not yet gone to the police station or court as they still want to make their marriage work but are helpless at this point.
This being the scenario, the easiest solution to this is to get the girl out of this mess and facilitate the union of husband and wife. That being the intention, I wanted to take the advise of senior members/parents of this forum to know if it’s a wise decision to inform the girl’s family. They can probably arrange for her marriage and put an end to this affair.
Any suggestion to save this marriage will greatly help.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response.
For me the girl is still a victim because a married man/woman should be held on higher moral grounds than the single ones irrespective of the gender.
Secondly, this sexual revolution taking place in India mainly due to the call centers and the IT industry is very similar to the one that took place in the West in the 60’s and the 70’s.
Gaining independence of not living with the parents, working away from home, not depending on the parents for the money, especially in India are the main causes of this.
There is nothing wrong or right about this and they can not be judged in this manner either.
Even Bollywood is promoting this kind of promiscuity through the movies. Before, even a kiss on the lips was a taboo. Now things go much faarther than that in the Indian movies which has been the foundation ground for the moral values in the Indian culture. Sex is exhibited and promoted shamelessly by the Bollywood.
The compass of morality changes with these changes. It is the people who live in these circumstances should learn how to live with it and should be open and more adapting to the changes, till this cyclic era is over and after the experimentations of this kind of life style, some do draw back to their old values of morality where they wait for the person to get married to and then have sex.
How long will that take? No one knows. Only time will tell.
Things may get worse or shall I say more intense as far as sex before marriage is concerned in India, especially for the working independent girls till they become full circle in the mental and moral sphere of one’s life.
This is part of life. You again mentioned Sikh girls and their pub lives as if Sikh girls were the majority in the IT industry and in Indian population, which is again incorrect on your part. Don’t girls from other religions in India where the majority is Hindu in the same pub circle? So, the fact is that there are more Hindu girls in this culture than girls from any other religion which you did not care to mention for the reasons only known to you.
Telling the girl’s parents in Chandigarh and marrying her off would not bring any good to anyone. What happens if this man she is with now divorces his wife and gets married to her and they live happily ever after? Who knows?!!
What is happening in my opinion is that these circumstances are forcing the Indian men, irrespective of their religion to change their mentality of marrying a virgin when they themselves are in the hunt to eradicate virginity themselves due to this new revolution.
In other words,” Virginity lies between one’s ears, not between one’s legs”.
