A woman from an affluent family in the Kohuwala area who eloped with a young man from Deniyaya returned to her parental home when she found that the young man was not in a position to provide her with the comforts she enjoyed earlier. 

The 19 year old young woman who was the only child of a billionaire businessman and heir to a large estate fell in love with a security guard employed at a business establishment and eloped with him on June 13, 2010 and lived at his house at Mederipitiya in Deniyaya after marriage. However, before long she realized that the young man was not in a position to provide her with the luxuries she was accustomed to have.

Meanwhile her parents had made a complaint to Deniyaya Police against the young man. When the parties appeared before OIC Deniyaya Police, the young woman wanted to leave her husband and return to her parents.

Inquiries revealed that the young woman spent more than Rs.35,000 a month on clothes and cosmetics. Without the least concern for her husband’s pleadings not to leave and threat of suicide if she does, she climbed into her parents’ super luxury car and disappeared from the scene.

    If you have problems in the way you wife or daughters are behaving and if you think what you're suggesting would be helpful, you can implement those rule at home and see.

    Parents? The girl better check her brain 1st

    TMA Wednesday, 04 August 2010 11:11 AM

    why can't all women be like this mate :)

    Gunawathie Wednesday, 04 August 2010 11:12 AM

    Nowdays girls are not stupid like the last generation. We still slog for our husbands, from day one unto death unpaid servants. Cooking, cleaning, washing, producing children, looking after them and being abused, too.

    Top Sri Lankan Wednesday, 04 August 2010 11:13 AM

    Excellent TOM , very excellent indeed.

    Holman Wednesday, 04 August 2010 11:13 AM

    May be she did it for fun. Good lesson for idiotic boys.

    Bakamoona Wednesday, 04 August 2010 11:14 AM

    What divorce settlement for the hubby. She will go abroad asap.

    RajasH Wednesday, 04 August 2010 11:17 AM

    ...if she is stunning like demi moore you can make an indecent proposal. but she is the one who is calling the shots

    SC Wednesday, 04 August 2010 11:18 AM

    let me know if you planning to marry again !! ha ha ha

    harris Wednesday, 04 August 2010 11:18 AM

    Girl got wiser after 2 months. Security Guard should have known this is not a practical marriage.

    legaltalk Wednesday, 04 August 2010 11:21 AM

    why won't you move to afghanistan? i can get you the ticket for it?

    RajasH Wednesday, 04 August 2010 11:22 AM

    for love of money.....

    Gavesh Wednesday, 04 August 2010 11:28 AM

    Or he might suddenly vanish without a trace...

    TMA Wednesday, 04 August 2010 11:08 AM

    I can't think whom I should laugh @. The girl or the security guard

    Liberal Man Wednesday, 04 August 2010 12:28 PM

    How many marriages fall apart ? Why this private matter is highlighted ?

    Perera007 Wednesday, 04 August 2010 01:04 PM

    Guess he could not Guard his Marriage. Better not have it on his next CV.

    Amila Wednesday, 04 August 2010 05:13 PM

    to have a Elephant is difficult. maintaining it more difficult!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Neomal Wednesday, 04 August 2010 05:24 PM

    Love is blind, bro. At least the girl got her sight back after two months.

    david Wednesday, 04 August 2010 07:10 PM

    Should file for divorce!

    kelani modaya Wednesday, 04 August 2010 07:26 PM

    I agree 100%. Tele-dramas are corrupting youngsters!

    azath Wednesday, 04 August 2010 09:58 PM

    Geddie, you are absolutely correct! These third class dramas and Indian movies corrupt the youngsters and spoil their lives.

    Mr Lawyer Wednesday, 04 August 2010 11:47 PM

    Why doesn't the security guard take her to court and seek half of all she owns unless a pre-nuptual agreement was signed?

    Or maybe.....he could write a best selling novel on how he bagged a millionaire?

    The opportunities are endless....think outside the box mr secuirty

    Sammy Thursday, 05 August 2010 02:56 AM

    Such type of love stories are good only for the movies. The greed for money & luxury overtakes all other emotions in today's world.

    jeena jay Thursday, 05 August 2010 03:39 AM

    guy stupid. girl smart.

    gamaya Thursday, 05 August 2010 05:03 AM

    Win WIn situation.. both parties got what they want...(Almost)
    Girl got new experiance and guy will get pay for his efforts.

    Marikar Thursday, 05 August 2010 11:23 AM

    But....... Second Hand.
    No Value!

    MJ Wednesday, 04 August 2010 10:23 AM

    i think the girl should be sent to jail first LOL

    AJ - COLOMBO Wednesday, 04 August 2010 09:42 AM

    What else will she be doing for money in her next marriage?

    Herman Munster Wednesday, 04 August 2010 09:43 AM

    sounds to me like a hindi movie

    Concerned Wednesday, 04 August 2010 09:45 AM

    Good lesson to the guy for trusting a billionaire's daughter.

    local boy Wednesday, 04 August 2010 09:51 AM

    i wish i could marry her for couple of days .

    Abay Wednesday, 04 August 2010 09:53 AM

    this is nothing more than a farmer marrying a princess.

    geddie Wednesday, 04 August 2010 09:53 AM

    First we should stop telecasting unwanted movies and dramas & also put a rule for a womens dressing style.. then all these automatically will stop..

    Kalu Malli Wednesday, 04 August 2010 09:53 AM

    God bless her second hubby....... :)

    AJ - COLOMBO Wednesday, 04 August 2010 10:00 AM

    2nd Hubby's position is vacant. Where can I find that application form?

    Rajitha Wednesday, 04 August 2010 10:01 AM

    imagine the agony her parents must have been in when they found their daughter had gone away with a security guard.
    that man should be sent to jail for trapping innocent girls

    malkanthi Wednesday, 04 August 2010 10:06 AM

    well said, all fairy tales, but not practical!

    spark Wednesday, 04 August 2010 10:18 AM

    What happens in the Hindi movie is farce and never happens in reality. What happened now is reality and the true human mind.

    Marikar Wednesday, 04 August 2010 10:22 AM

    YOUNGSTERS BEWARE!
    Don't fall in love with the JONSE'S

    Channa Wednesday, 04 August 2010 09:36 AM

    Typical.......

    Reality Wednesday, 04 August 2010 10:33 AM

    Story line for another Hindi movie.

    Sk Wednesday, 04 August 2010 10:37 AM

    Rajitha, what is innocent about a 19 year old rich girl. Spoilt brat. some rich girls are reday to sleep with anyone. Poor fellow lost the job.Becareful about your life poor fellow, anything can happen

    HTS Wednesday, 04 August 2010 10:39 AM

    This article has taught me 2 things........firstly whatever happened to the good old tradition of dowreys and secondly WOW clothes and cosmetics are over priced out here

    simple joe Wednesday, 04 August 2010 10:42 AM

    what do u mean good lesson, marrying her must be the smartest move he must have done, now that they are married he can get a considerable amount of compensation from the divorce proceedings. either way its a win-win situation for him

    Tom Wednesday, 04 August 2010 10:44 AM

    Parents think money can provide everything and this innocent girl wouldn't have had the love and affection that comes from home. Such girls fall prey to men who show a great affection and care. It is important to maintain a friendship with your children especially daughter than giving money for all activities. The time has come for parents to follow a course in child psychology as we live at a time when bollywood is dictating the way we should live, laugh and cry.

    RajasH Wednesday, 04 August 2010 10:46 AM

    poor guy ..may have thought path to richness is seducing the heiress , he must have failed miserably in satisfying her other desires

    Sk Wednesday, 04 August 2010 10:52 AM

    if this is a story other way around, rich boy and poor girl. .. story will end up, she giving birth to child with no father. Rich parents please try to educate your child with values & good education. Money will be come and go.

    Gayan Thilakarathna Wednesday, 04 August 2010 10:54 AM

    and here comes the moral police lurking...

    Sk Wednesday, 04 August 2010 10:56 AM

    why did she come home? her parents have money & she is the only daughter so, why can't they share their money with some one poor ? is it a shame?

    Smart Aleck Wednesday, 04 August 2010 10:58 AM

    Don't worry! She might be his third wife ! This is High Society Life now in Sri Lanka.

    Smart Aleck Wednesday, 04 August 2010 11:00 AM

    Security Guards too have the right to marry rich girls.

    Vince Wednesday, 04 August 2010 11:05 AM

    better late than never, She had some brains to realise her stupidity and leave him. Good girl!!!!
