"her husband used to watch pornographic videos and force her to perform oral sex"
In a traumatic case of abuse, a 28-year-old Indian wife from Thane, a city just outside Mumbai, has filed a mental and physical harassment complaint against her husband and mother-in-law.
The victimised woman stated her husband forced her to perform oral sex on him after watching porn.
Also, she alleges her husband and mother-in-law would torture her for money.
According to police, the woman used to live with her husband and in-laws on Pokhran Road in Thane.
The woman, who works as a sales manager with a real estate firm in Colaba, got married to her husband in July 2017.
In August 2017, the abused wife discovered her husband was having explicit conversations with a number of women.
An officer from Chitalsar police station said:
“When she confronted her husband, the latter allegedly avoided the matter.
“As per the victim, her husband used to watch pornographic videos and force her to perform oral sex with him.
“The victim alleged that her in-laws kept demanding for money.”
According to the victim, her husband asked her to give him Rs. 5 Lakh (£5,400) so he could start a business on February 14, 2019.
The woman, who had just returned from work, refused her husband’s request.
The officer added:
“The victim alleged that when she refused to comply, she was assaulted by her husband and mother-in-law.”
“She then lodged a police complaint in this regard on Friday. We are probing into the case and will record statements of the people named by the victim in the FIR.”
The police have registered a case under the Indian Penal Code against the woman’s husband and mother-in-law.
In a similar case which took place in July 2018, a woman appealed to the court to charge her husband for allegedly forcing her to give him oral sex.
Through her lawyer Aparna Bhat, the woman alleged that her husband frequently forced her to perform oral sex on him.
She said performing oral is “against the order of nature” and wanted her husband booked under Section 377 which criminalises unnatural sex.
Ms Bhat said: “Her husband was incapable of comprehending her objection.
“The husband, aside from his insistence on oral sex, which was unnatural in the perception of the woman, persisted with her to allow video recording of their physical encounters.
“She was compelled to put up with the depraved demands, which were often accompanied by threats and physical abuse.”
The woman accused her husband of rape and unnatural sex. However, the court ruled he cannot be booked under Section 377 as the allegations made by the wife do not constitute an offence under the section.
