Same-sex couple resists husbands’ efforts to take them home
By Shane Seneviratne
Pandemonium broke out at the Kandy Police Station when the husbands of two women who were in a same-sex relationship attempted to take them home from the hotel where the two were staying at in Kandy.
Police investigations revealed that a 34-year-old married woman from Wattala had been taking her child to school in Kandana, where she formed a clandestine relationship with a 29-year-old female teacher. According to the police, the same-sex couple had disappeared from their homes around a month ago. Their husbands reported their disappearance to both Kandana and Wattala Police, providing photos of the two women to all police stations. Meanwhile, a vigilant police officer at Sri Dalada Maligawa in Kandy spotted two women fitting the description of the missing individuals during a visit today. Subsequently, Kandy Police took them into custody and interrogated them, discovering that they had been residing at a guest house in the Suduhumpola area of Kandy.
Their husbands were called to the Kandy Police Station, and upon arrival with their children to take the women home, the two protested vehemently, crying out to both the police and their husbands not to separate them.
They also declined their children's pleas to return home. Despite their resistance, one woman was forcefully taken away by her husband in a van, while the other, weeping and wailing, reluctantly followed her husband and children.
A police team led by HQI Rasika Sampath conducted inquiries to facilitate the reunion of the two women with their families.

Shouldn't fuss over this Tuesday, 04 June 2024 08:30 PM
They should've been left alone as the relationship was between two consenting adults. They can file for divorce, and then can get together.

The sexual feelings of females is many times stronger than of men Tuesday, 04 June 2024 09:00 PM
How can these two women abandon even their own children in order to have sexual relationship with each other. The power of sex.

Such ignorance.. Its not sex only.. Its about whom your heart desire as well.. Not all same sex relationships are about sex and not all hetro relationships are about mutual love and respect... Please widen your view of the world.

How can anyone justify this nonsense? How can these women desert their children and live in a fantasy world? Same as drug addicts.

Very very sad situation especially the kids, the immediate families and the couples. Husbands or wives, always talk about such things so u know Ur partner. But if anyone reading this is in such a situation or has such feelings for same gender, please remember this- avoid such feelings as much as possible towards the same gender after marriage then it won't go that far, but if it does, try to talk it out with Ur spouse and try to come to a compromise, of any kind whatsoever. If none wrks then legally separate first and leave the country to start a new life. Avoid shame for everyone especially the kids and parents.

Despite their sex or other factors, every individual have right to live life as they want. Courts can order them to pay compensation for victims. But individual freedom must be protected.

Cultural idiocy Wednesday, 05 June 2024 12:07 AM
Which culture are you talking about? that a girl who has come of age should spend her first night with the village leader? Or that a king can claim any woman he desires? Listen to and understand the song "sudu nenda ei" by Gunadasa Kapuge.

Though being separated from their mothers may be distressing for the children, the two ladies have every right to engage in a relationship of their choice, however unethical it may seem.

The best thing to do is, let the two husbands get together and raise the children.

Depends on how young the children are and generally children are far better off with the mother, unless proved otherwise, irrespective of sexual orientation. Lots of people in Gay relationships make good parents. The mothers can raise them with joint custody and visitation by both parents. This is what happens when LGBT people are forced into heterosexual relationships by their bigoted parents and society. All this would have never happened if these women's parents have not forced them to marry men to be acceptable to society. They suffered, the husbands suffered and now the children suffer. At least now in the west more and more LGBT people are openly resisting this parental pressure and pressure from some members of the society, who are still bigoted

Biggest problem in our police is lack of understanding of the law , miss application of the law , and obvious abuse of power . Police need to be reeducated and be given the basic understanding of human rights.

Nothing wrong done by the women. It should not have been a police affair to start with. Let them sort it out amongst themselves, peacefully. For instance the husbands could agree to share the women between the two of them. The novelty will wear off and things will settle down. There is no rhyme or reason for love and sexual attraction. Human pheromones at work? This definitely is a personal choice and nothing for the public to peep in to.

Unbelievable. These selfish women care only about depraved sexual activities with each other. They are even ready to leave their husband and child for it. Sri Lanka should punish same-sex sexual activities. Last, there was lgbt pride in Colombo. Why does our government allow this? It's forbidden in Russia to promote LGBT propaganda. It destroys society. and children get influenced by these lgbt lairs. Nobody is born gay. It's all sexual perversion. Police did a good job.

This is the stupid social ignorance system in SL. Even though they had children and husbands, they are consenting adults and should be left alone, allow them to take a divorce and do what they like. Taking them 'forcefully' won't achieve anything and it will be interesting what their husbands will get from these ladies by forcefully keeping them. They were not stealing money from someone else. SL Police is not a professional outfit and lack many skills to handle such situations. SLankan people generally are not a gown up outfit and are full of traditional mentality. This country has to change in leaps and bounds. Let these two people get a divorce and live together.

Today in the West, where I live, young children and people are suffering because of LGBT lies. Many have destroyed their families. Many children have removed their healthy body parts to become something they are not. Now they can't live with this bad decision. Noting is good about same-sex and transgender nonsense. It's all sexual perversion, and people are being destroyed by it. Anyone can become gay. If you allow sexual perversion to take control, then you can sleep with the same sex, animals, or anything depraved.

Totally mishandled. Children should not have been brought into the situation and reconciliation at least attempted in secret.

Society has got corrupted and spoilt. One is a teacher and dont know what she was teaching all these days. School should sack her asap. Also non of them had cared for the children instead was looking for a god prohibited affair and they should not have married if they had abnormal feelings. Police has sorted out the issue with lesser damage to the two families and relations. Otherwise both should be in jail as same gender affairs are not legal here. Sick people are invading the society. Look at the situation of USA. It is almost collapsed with poor culture while nations like China rising strongly.

I feel for the LGBT community in your country. And besides: homosexuality was not a problem in Sri Lanka until the Victorian Brits colonized your country. But when the parents with the surname Stalin call their son Joseph, everyone already know there is something really wrong with your history classes.

If adults decide to live with other partners, that is their own decision, even if there are children. The police have exceeded their authority by arresting and interfering in this tragic family affair and have committed a criminal offense. One husband is guilty of kidnapping and the police did not intervene. I can only recommend that women prosecute the kidnapping husband and the police. Another example of how the law of the jungle still applies in Sri Lanka.

( 4 Jun, 2024 23:20) EU applicant wants to ban ‘LGBTQ movement’ Georgia has introduced a set of bills against LGBTQ propaganda and gender reassignmentThe speaker of the Georgian parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, has announced a sweeping initiative aimed at protecting traditional family values, in a move already branded by critics as yet another Russia-inspired crackdown. The set of proposals includes a ban of gay marriages and the adoption of minors by homosexual couples. On top of that, the ruling Georgian Dream – Democratic Georgia party seeks to ban LGBTQ and incest propaganda aimed at minors, as well as prohibit broadcasters and advertisers from airing intimate same-sex scenes. Sex reassignment surgeries and changing sex in official documents would also be banned, if the proposals are passed. WHEN WILL SRI LANKA GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE STAND UP AGAINST THIS LGBT PROPAGANDA?? COLOMBO GAY PRIDE NEED TO BE STOPPED BECAUSE IT DESTROYS CHILDERN AND SOCIETY!!!

Freedom Wednesday, 05 June 2024 07:34 PM
Reading the comments above, there are about 80% that say that the women must have the freedom of choice and the police didn't hand the case well. According to my opinion, both women are legally married and they are required to live with their spouse until they get a divorce. Once they are divorce, they have the freedom to do what ever they wish. I think the Police did the right thing by sending the women with their husband. DO YOU AGREE WITH ME?

I wish the police would take the same approach to bring back men and women who abandon their spouses and children and abscond their responsibilities. Why not locate them and forcibly bring them to their families too? Even in situations like this, women are more likely to be targeted that men who walk out on their families. While I am neutral on same-sex relationships (if it is between consenting adults) treating them differently because they are in a same-sex relationship is terrible.
