How can a person be so ridiculous that after sexually exploiting a minor for more than two years goes on to marry a 11 year old girl. He had such faith in system that no matter what he does no one will bat an eye.
Jharkhand BJP chief Tala Marandi’s son Munna Marandi has allegedly wed a 11 year old minor, when legal age for marriage in our country for girls is 18 years. he wedding is said to have taken place in Godda, Jharkhand, on June 27. According to reports her cousin was supposed to marry Munna but she and her family backed out of the marriage.
According to a newsd report, a letter by SDN Academy says the girl was born on July 25, 2005, and is enrolled in the sixth standard. Earlier, a minor girl appeared before State Commission for Women (SCW) and submitted an application against Munna for allegedly sexually exploiting her in the name of marriage. She reported he sexually abused her for two long years.
The girl, aged around 16, told The Indian Express: “He (Munna) first saw me during the poll campaign in 2014…Later, he met me a few times. On January 1, 2016, he came to wish me Happy New Year. I was alone in the house. He forced himself on me. When I resisted, he promised marriage…. When my mother and elder sister came, I told them everything. Over a period of time, he began taking me to various places. Believing in his promise of marriage, neither I nor my family opposed.”
If such things happen in the house of those whom people call their leaders, what are we even expecting of them. People think of them as their representative and expect them to provide security and assurance to them. But if such is the case then how safe are women around such people. If these are the people who are supposed to protect the rights of common man who will protect a common man’s right from them.
