20 YEAR GIRL SENTENCED TO MASS RAPE AS PUNISHMENT
A
20-year-old Indian woman has been left fighting for her life after village
elders allegedly ordered her to be gang-raped – because she had fallen in love
with the man outside her community. Thirteen
men have been arrested in connection with this case.
A Kangaroo court, locally called ‘Salishi Sabha’,
allegedly ordered the rape as punishment for the woman because she couldn’t pay
a £244 fine for her ‘love’ crime – falling in love with a man outside her
community.
The victim further told the police that she “had lost
count” of the number of men who assaulted her throughout Tuesday night, in
Sabalpur village.
According to her words, the Salishi Sabha summoned her and
her lover to their court on Monday and detained them throughout the day and
night. Then both, the victim and her man, were tied to separate trees in
the village square as the court issued the order.
Their affair cost them a £244 fine each. However, when
the girl’s family admitted they were unable to pay the fine, the head of
Salishi Sabha allegedly ordered the young girl be raped as additional
punishment.
The boy’s friend managed to pay his fine on his behalf.
The victim is now being treated in the local hospital and
the police are waiting for the medical report to be issued.
While the police have already arrested 13 persons one is
still on the run.
