ELIZABETH HURLEY - LIZ HURLEY 'FACING JAIL'

LIZ HURLEY 'FACING JAIL'

Elizabeth Hurley and her new husband Arun Nayar could be facing jail after being accused of breaking Hindu customs during their wedding ceremony.

It is reported that Arun's father Vinod is willing to testify against the glamorous couple with written evidence.

Amongst the complaints against them are the claims that Hurley refused to remove her shoes inside the marriage mandrap (marriage place) and that the couple drank alcohol before the wedding.

The Daily Mail claims the couple have been charged with an intention to outrage the feelings of Hindus by insulting their religious and ritualistic beliefs under section 295 A of the Indian Penal code.

Those found guilty of deliberately insulting the Hindu religion can face a three-year prison sentence.

"An arrest warrant could be issued for Arun and Liz as soon as the prosecution has made its case – either because they are summonsed to give evidence or they have been found guilty," prosecuting lawyer HM Saraswat said in comments reported by the paper.

Hurley and Arun were married in two lavish wedding ceremonies last month; the first was held at the historic Sudeley Castle in England and the second at the Meherangarh Fort in Rajasthan.
