JALPAIGURI: A 36-year-old man married his teenage daughter and made her pregnant, justifying his perverse act by claiming he had divine sanction for his incestuous lust. What's even more galling is that his wife was the prime witness in the nikah of her daughter to her husband.
Afazuddin Ali's wedding happened quietly and understandably without fanfare, so none in Kasiajhora village of Jalpaiguri district knew. But now, six months later, as the girl showed signs of pregnancy, eyebrows were raised, tongues started wagging and word finally got out.
Outrage and anger swept across the village and there was even talk of attacking the family. Sensing that things could quickly get out of control, cops from the Banerhat police station rushed in and arrested Ali, his wife Sakina and their 15-year-old daughter.
The three were taken to an SDO's court on Monday but the hapless magistrate had to release them because he had no criminal jurisdiction; there was no complainant and police strangely did not bring a case of statutory rape against Ali.
"Police has not lodged any specific case and the court does not have jurisdiction over criminal cases. So they were released unconditionally," said the SDO, Atanu Kumar Ray.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Those wacky Muslims. If Allah says it’s OK, then it’s OK!
‘Incest’ —— A fun game the whole family can play!
What does that mean?
JALPAIGURI: A 36-year-old man who married his teenage daughter, apparently after convincing his wife that he was carrying out divine instructions, kept the event under wraps for more than six months. Until, his 15-year-old daughter began showing signs of pregnancy.
Villagers of Kasiajhora found out about Afazuddin Ali’s wedding when one of them found the girl showing pregnancy’s swelling signs.
The sordid drama of what happened, however, unfolded on Monday when Ali was produced in court. When Ali, a daily labourer who has three daughters and two sons moved to marry his eldest girl child, his wife naturally was aghast and protested madly. To placate Sakina, he told her he was only carrying out Allah’s instructions and the family would be rewarded. The poor, illiterate woman saw no reason to doubt her husband’s heinous act.
“He is a religious person and will never lie taking Allah’s name,” she said on Monday. It still wasn’t clear whether the ‘wedding’ was conducted by a qazi who had been paid off. The family had kept the unholy wedlock under wraps until the girl’s pregnancy became obvious.
They tried to prevent her from leaving home during the day, but after all she was just another 15 year old. A few days back, a village woman saw her and the news spread like wildfire. Soon there were mobs knocking on Ali’s doors.
On Sunday, when Ali was finally confronted, he confessed. But cops arrived just in time to avoid the mobs unleashing their fury on him.
Ali, who looked nervous when police brought him to the court, was seen strutting around after being released. “I haven’t done anything wrong. Isn’t it clear from the judgment?” he said. Yet, he decided it wouldn’t be prudent to return to his village.
Probably just as well that the police didn’t lodge a complaint of rape.
If they had, most likely the magistrate would have ordered the father to cut off the girl’s head for besmirching his honor.
it was vishnas fault...
Nikah = Moslem marriage ceremony
"The Devil made me do it."
Right, because sleeping with your children is totally the norm in Islamic countries... (rolls eyes)
You are aware that this crap happens from time to time in the US too?
Wonder where Woody Allen ended up.
Although they should probably whack the mother for good measure as well.
True, but normally we put these scumbags in prison and do not let them go on their merry way.
We also don't let fathers marry their daughters, even if they get pregnant though incest
It means the wife signed off on the idea of her husband sleeping with her daughter. She’s the sickest one of the three of them.
Just made sure the stick is no bigger than you thumb.......
Take them back to the village with a truck load of stones.
now he only gets 71 virgins and she gets lashed for marrying her father!!!!
only in muzzie land!!!
