Little girl came home crying who was playing with her friends in the nearby park. Constantly Crying, mommie its paining!! Mom in dilemma, asks why? what happened? where? Girl said here, indicating through her index finger. Some minutes later, mommie found that her daughter was sexually assaulted. She was just 8. Mommie talked to father regarding whatever happened. Went to hospital, found that the girl was mishandled. So they looked for filing a complaint. But elder members of the family stopped them saying it’s not good to file complaints, what will society think of us? Your Father in Law is a reputed person. We don’t want spots on our family name. Leave it, she is too small to remember anything till she’ll grow up. That girl was then asked to stay back at home, was restricted like anything. Because according to elder members of the family, it was her fault that she went to play in the park. She never forgot those days, how that uncle giving toffee everyday mishandled her. She never got out of that trauma, and cursed herself everyday that she was born in such a family where no one took initiative to look into her matter. And got so threatened by the incident that she never went near to her own father. Yes, she was not safe even at her home because if that incident happens again too, no one is going to look after her, instead the matter will be closed again.
Is the Victim of Rape at "any" Fault ?
