Ms. Maneka Gandhi and such other like minded folks this is precisely why a stringent perhaps even draconian law against marital rape and atrocities is the crying need of the hour.......
A gutsy; indomitable and uncompromising 40 year old woman filed a written complaint against her husband of 18 odd years standing at Pune's Wanowrie police station late on Wednesday evening.....
This bruised; battered; traumatised and tormented soul alleged that her legally wedded husband used to force various brands of premium liquor down her throat and perform illegal and grotesque sexual acts on him as well as his "inner circle" of friends when she was under the influence of the intoxicants that she was plied with against her will and consent.......
She also went on to allude to the sordid and demonic fact that her supposed protector and nurturer would torture and brutalise her by burning various parts of her anatomy with lighted cigarettes and constantly beat her up with his favourite leather belt and the like whenever she refused to accede to his expressed desires and wishes........
According to a senior police officer attached to/posted in the afore mentioned Pune based police thana; the various injury and burn marks displayed by this troubled and harangued woman bear more than adequate testimony to the travesties borne by her during the course of her hellish marriage.......
Taking due cognisance of the women's written complaint the Wanowrie police station sleuths have booked cases against the accused husband under all the relevant and applicable sections of the Indian Penal Code and also registered a case against the accused/suspect's mother, sister and brother for aiding and abetting him in this criminal enterprise/venture........
No arrests have been made thus far as investigations into the matter/unsavoury episode are still on and the police are proceeding with due caution and diligence as they themselves are unsure about the sections of the law under which the accused can be taken into custody.......
Ms. Gandhi do you now realise why a foolproof and loophole free law against marital rape and atrocities is the crying need of the hour as the Justice Varma committee had pointed out in the aftermath of the infamous Nirbhaya gang rape case that shook the collective conscience of an entire nation......
