Woman allegedly raped by father-in-law in UP

Muzzafarnagar: A woman has alleged that she became pregnant after being repeatedly raped by her father-in-law in neighbouring Prabudhnagar district, police said.

The victim, a resident of Kadikhera village, lodged a complaint accusing her father-in-law of repeatedly raping her.

In her complaint before the city SP, she claimed that she was five months pregnant due to the rape.

She also accused her husband and mother-in-law of ignoring her plight when the matter was brought before them, police said.

The matter draws similarity with the controversial Imrana case of the district that was in the headlines six years ago, when a community panchayat passed a verdict that Imrana, a mother of five, would have to consider her husband as her son after the alleged rape by her father-in-law and that her marriage will be null and void.
