Widow faces backlash over marriage’ to rape accused

Solominization of a marriage of a 32-year-old widow and mother of a 12-year-old boy with the man she accused of rape has earned her ire of her family and social ostracization.

Notably, her 'marriage' to the rape accused was solomanised by the cops in Multai police station when she had gone there to lodge a complaint against him.

The photograph of her socalled marriage at the police station surfaced on social media bringing dishonor to her in the village. Facing backlash, the woman after a few days again approached police and lodged a complaint against the accused Satish Sonare, 40. Police have arrested him and the court has sent him to judicial remand.

According to reports, the woman was married to one Raj Kumar of Sonali village under Multai police station in 2010. The man died during Covid-19 lockdown in 2020.
