Marital Rape!!

 

 

I came across an interested topic today; I want you all to think about it. Just read the story below.

There was a girl and a boy, who fell in love. Well that girl had strict parents meanwhile that boy's family was open-minded and supports his decisions. One day when that girl and the boy was roaming in the park, one of the girl's relatives saw her holding hands walking and talking to that boy. As the concerned relative will do, he told this to her parents.

At this point I should probably tell you that her father was a policeman and he was furious on this fact that her daughter likes a boy. He immediately caged her inside her room and asked never to leave the house. He does wants her daughter to be happy, as being a father he wanted to meet up with the boy to discuss about his plan for the future, but his wife was an illiterate person, she was more worried about how the society thinks rather than the happiness of her own daughter, she convinced him to drop this idea and to arrange a marriage of their daughter in a village, far from here so that nobody could find about it.

As soon as possible, they arranged a wedding for her daughter in a village with an older man, almost doubled the age of that girl. This girl was forced to marry a person whom she had never seen or met in her life. Night after her marriage she got raped, by her own husband. I know you would say, “RAPED”! How? She was married to that person, he is her husband and it’s lawful to have a sexual relationship with your partner.

To answer that I would like to remind you, in Indian penal code it is stated that it is consider as a rape when “A sexual intercourse takes place without the consent and will of the women”. And that girl who was forced to marry a person, was naturally been raped cause clearly she don’t have the will for this act and yet she had to do it! I don’t know how many times or how many nights that girl was raped and no-one knows about it, not her policeman father, her orthodox mother and not even the “society”, would care about her condition. She might be quite, because she had turned off her emotions and feeling and probably dead inside.

Well who to blame huh! These feeling were the reason she was in this mess after all. And surprisingly this is not the worst part about the marital rape. I tell you the worst part is that now we have a rapist and a victim in our society that nobody knows about, because it’s not a crime in the eyes of law. Yet another girl was raped and the criminal is her own husband living with her, instead in the prison.

So, this is a story I wanted to share with all of you people a “story of a girl who had been raped and nobody knows”.
