Strange,…Man locks wife in bathroom for 3 years for giving birth to a girl
A
25-year-old mother was locked in a bathroom for three years and banned from
seeing her child because she gave birth to a girl.
The
Indian woman found with overgrown nails and torn clothes could not open her
eyes in the sunlight.And she wept inconsolably when her daughter did not
recognise her.
According
to the International Business Times,Chief officer Seema Kumari said:
'The
woman could barely open her eyes in the sunlight, as she had survived in
darkness and dim light, closeted in the small space. 'The woman revealed that
she was thrown into the bathroom and locked there.She was not allowed to see
her child, and given leftover food irregularly. It was as if her in-laws were
seeking revenge for not bringing ample dowry and for giving birth to a girl
child.'
Police
officials said that the victim was married to Prabhat Kumar Singh in 2010 but
soon after the wedding, she was allegedly repeatedly tortured by her husband
and in-laws and told to bring in more dowry.When the dowry demands were unmet
and she gave birth to a baby girl, she was locked up.
"She
was never allowed to go meet her parents. When her relatives visited Darbhanga
to meet her, they were dissuaded or shooed away.
"She
was also barred from interacting with anybody from outside. She immediately
asked for her three-year-old daughter and wept inconsolably when the child
could not recognize her,"
The
victim was eventually rescued by police after her father Shyam Sundar Singh
filed a complaint at the Darbhanga police station.
