Victim granted bail on condition of marriage
Rape is on the rise in the country with the temptation of marriage. A similar incident took place in Feni. After a two-year love affair between a boy and a girl, Ziauddin, accused of tempting her to marry, raped the girl. But a case was filed for refusing to marry. In that case, the defendant wanted bail on the condition that he marry the victim from jail. The High Court ordered the prison authorities to arrange Karafat’s marriage with the consent of the victim. Feminist groups have criticized the High Court decision.
Responding to criticism during the case hearing on Monday, the Superior Court said: “Whatever the criticism, we are looking at the decision of such a marriage from a positive perspective.”
The court said that due to technology, it does not take time to build relationships between people in society, nor does it take time to break them again. Now the number of divorces in our country has increased a lot. It is more prevalent among educated people. Rather, this trend is less among ordinary people. Justice M. Inayetur Rahim and Justice. A bank in the High Court division comprising Mostafizur Rahman made the remarks Monday.
On May 26 this year, Zia Uddin, 21, from the Sonagazi Police Station in Feni, raped a girl from a nearby house, tempting her to marry. The following day, Zia Uddin was sent to jail in a case brought under Section 9 (1) of the Abuse of Women and Children Act. At the end of the investigation, the police handed over the charge sheet. When the Feni Sessions and District Judge denied her bail on August 23, she applied for bail in the Superior Court on the condition that she marry. The High Court then said that the marriage could take place with the consent of the victim. After that, the marriage took place on November 11 in Feni Prison.
At Ziauddin’s bail hearing, his lawyer Farooq Alamgir Chowdhury said that the two-year love affair had turned into a physical affair. We have to see if anything has been imposed here. There is no substitute for love to survive on earth. At this stage, Superior Court Judge M. Enayetur Rahim said that feminist organizations have criticized our order. We are being criticized in many ways. In fact, I was personally offended by the reports in a couple of newspapers.
The newspaper report says “marriage by rape with rapist”; this is not how it should be reported. Once again, some feminist organizations are saying that rapists will be encouraged in such marriages. We did not ask the rapist to marry the rapist. The child has requested bail on condition of marriage. After that we said with the order, the marriage can take place if the girl gives her consent. Later the marriage took place with the consent of the son and daughter.
Deputy Attorney General. Sarwar Hossain Bappi said that now the court must watch over the girl so that she can have a family with her dignity. So you don’t have to read the pain of breaking up the family later. At this stage, said the superior judge, the house can be protected with the rigor of the law. The house is falling apart even after 15/20 years of marriage. Why is this happening?
The High Court said: “If we give any condition, if there is any misbehavior with the girl, the bail will be canceled, then it will be seen that if the girl says that I have to cancel 10 property bighas first, such incidents are happening in society “. The most important thing is that the mutual understanding between the two is real. We hope the world goes well. The High Court granted Ziauddin a provisional bond of one year. The court said the bond would be revoked if the defendant married just to get the bond. So we kept the matter under observation.
