NEW DELHI: A Delhi court has decided to frame rape charges against a man who married a girl after converting her to Islam and hid his marital status. When the girl came to know that her husband was already married, she tried to end her life. Later on, she lodged a complaint with police.
Additional sessions judge T R Naval allowed framing of charges against Jamal Nasir for rape, abetment to suicide, concealment of former marriage, fraudulent marriage and cohabitation by inducing a belief of lawful marriage. Jamal, a resident of east Delhi, ran a cloth factory in front of the victim's house. He had allegedly approached the girl and asked her to marry him. He maintained he was a bachelor. According to the prosecution, in June 2001, Jamal called the girl inside the factory, where four other people were also present. One of them was introduced as Qazi and other three as witnesses. Jamal told her that after some recitations from the Quran, she would be converted to Islam and thereafter, they would be married.
They then started living as man and wife. It was only when the girl asked him why he did not spend the nights at home that he disclosed his former marriage. But, she made a compromise and continued to live with Jamal.
In July 2006, Jamal's first wife came at their house and beat her up. Later, Jamal shifted her to another house and even asked her to stay away from him. The girl went into depression and tried to kill herself, but was saved due to timely medical aid.
After being discharged from the hospital, she lodged a complaint saying Jamal, his first wife Musharrat, his brother Anees and his wife Nilofar were responsible for making her end her life.
