Jaipur: A 24-year-old woman in Rajasthan’s Bhilw-ara was allegedly forced to take a “virginity test” by her in-laws who thrashed her after she “failed” it, and called a panchayat that asked her family to pay `10 lakh, police said Monday.
According to the case filed in the case on Saturday against her in-laws, the woman has alleged she was made to undergo the “test” on the first day of her marriage on May 11 in Bhilwara.
She alleged in the FIR her husband and his family assaulted her after she “failed” the “test”, and that they con-vened the Khap panchayat at a local temple on May 31 which asked her family to pay `10 lakh.
Police said the woman told her in-laws she had allegedly been raped by a neighbour sometime before her marriage and that a rape case was filed at Subhash Nagar police sta-tion. Station house officer (Bagor) Aayub Khan said the police investigated the matter after it was reported in the local media and a case was lodged against her in-laws.
