A
32-year-old woman in India shocked police officers yesterday after she
entered their station with evidence of her brother in laws genitals in
her hand. She reported herself and the evidence of the severed organ in the Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh.
Taking
along her three children, the mum informed officers she was staying
with her brother-in-law as her husband worked more than seven-hundred
miles away. Her brother-in-law began assaulting her sexually while she
lived in his house.
The
day she chopped off his penis, she admitted to the officers she had to
fake consent to avoid him attacking her as he usually did; after which
she ripped his genitals off with a sickle as that was the only way to
get him to stop.
Times of India reports, ”Before the police
were able to get medical support to the injured man, he had already
committed suicide. His body was reportedly found hanging from a tree
near their house.”
Sidhi police spokesman, Abid Khan, says
the woman has been charged with attempted murder much to the
disagreement of Indian women.
‘This is a rare case and has to be investigated for a proper charge-sheet,’ he said.
Police officers say the woman is mentally stable and she has no regrets for her actions.
Rape in India has been on the rise since 2012.
Public
opinion seem to support the woman’s actions though others suggest she
should have reported to the police initially rather than taking the law
into her hands.
Rohini Rai – because
complaining to police, in most cases, is next to useless because the
system itself is sexist and patriarchal… I do believe that what she did
was violent, but sometimes violence becomes necessary when all other
means to get justice fails.
Waqaas Rumani – Genuinely,
She acted in self defense and she should be let to go free. Such a case
will be a good deterrent to other jerks with such a mindset !
FunLover – What
about complaining to the police instead of this, what if she murdered
him and tried to pass this off a sexual harassment.
W B New – That
the police is there to investigate. She surrendered that means she is
ready to go to jail, whether she murder him or not.
Romy28 – You
mean to say she might be Murderer and stupid enough to walk into Police
Station with three kids…. I think you too have brain at wrong place.
JeffGill – So
many sad stories in the world, and then you get stories like this. If
there is any justice in the world then this brave lady should walk free.
dangaikoski – no matter the circumstances do something like that and you will be charged with what she has, common sense really
Is It Me – So
let me get this straight, he rapes her, she cuts off his bits and hands
them into the police as proof of the rape, he hangs himself and she
gets done for attempted murder? The law is truly an ass.
BigBadWolf – Good effort!! Glad she is not Saudi or she would be stonned to death.
Athiestmanc –
What makes this story sad is that her husband will probably turn his
back on her now and she will probably be raped in prison. The justice
system in India is appalling. Women are treated as meat over there
Barking – He
knew perfectly well what he’d done to his brother’s wife, mind you
facing life with no genitals might have contributed to his suicide.
Thought:
The woman weighed her pros and cons. She knew she had a fifty-fifty chance of walking away or getting jail-time and she decided to severe her rapist’s genitals. She took her chances. Now it’s up to the law to decide if she made the right choice.
What do you think? Is she brave for what she did or should she face the law regardless how sincere her intentions to save herself from further rape might be?
