In 1995 I got pregnant and told my sister everything. The brothers threatened to kill her if she tried to file a complaint, ”said the woman, now 38. “We tried to have an abortion, but the doctor refused since I was 13 years old and it would be risky.” His brother-in-law was transferred and they left town.
In the new city, she gave birth to a boy and gave him up for adoption to distant relatives in Hardoi. In 2000, she married, but six years later, when her husband found out that she had been raped, he questioned her behavior and left her.
He never got to know his son. A few years ago, the son learned that he had been adopted and who his mother was, the FIR said. When they met last year, he asked who his father was. “At first I refused but he threatened to commit suicide. I gave in. “Her son, who is now 24 years old, supported her and was sure that she should not give up the fight. He said that the first time he tried to file a complaint, the police did not. This week, the court of the the chief judicial magistrate ordered them to submit an FIR.
