Photo: Tired of court battles, woman 'forced' to marry the man who raped her when she was a minor
A
Tamil Nadu woman, who had resisted a Madras High Court suggestion to
marry the man she accused of raping her when she was a minor, was forced to marry him. (pictured with her daughter)..
On
December 29, 2015, tired of the court battles, the 22-year-old woman
returned to him with her daughter born out of the rape after his
conviction was set aside by another High Court judge and her case sent
back to the lower court. She told the Cuddalore Mahila Court that she
had married the accused after a
settlement and they were now living together. The case was therefore
closed and the man acquitted by the court.
