Marriage Turned Murder
India's Most Shocking Husband and Wife Crimes, 20 True Stories
Twenty real Indian marriages that ended in murder — built from police statements, court filings, and verified news reports.
Marriage Turned Murder is a true crime collection by Indian author Parvind Kumar documenting twenty real cases where an Indian marriage ended in murder — among them the Blue Drum Murder, the Cobra Plot, the Tandoor Murder, and the Faridkot NRI case, drawn from Delhi, Bihar, Kerala, Punjab, Karnataka, Maharashtra and beyond.
Built from police statements, court filings, and verified news reports, each chapter follows the same structure — the victim, the marriage, the crime, the investigation, and where the case stands today — asking how well anyone truly knows the person sleeping beside them.
