Man Divorces Wife By Text, Takes Their Son Away After She Was Gang-Raped By Neighbours

A mother-of-one has been divorced by her husband via text message after confessing to being gang raped in Meerut, India.

The 25-year-old woman, who has not been named, received a message saying “talaq” meaning “I divorce you” three times after telling her husband about being gang-raped by their neighbours.

Soon after the vicious attack she was forced out of the family house where she lived with her mother-in-law who also took her onlyson away.

The desparate woman shared her story with the MailOnline: “When I read the message I went numb. I couldn’t believe what I had read. Just three words; talaq, talaq, talaq. This is the last thing I was expecting from my husband of five years after I confided in him about what happened.

I felt violated. I thought that he would stand by my side through this, to help me through the pain of it. But I was wrong. He took the easiest way out like a coward and divorced me with text message. It took him five seconds to end a five-year relationship.

And my mother-in-law who had stood by my side after I was raped and went with me to the police station to report the attack, suddenly changed her mind and took her son’s side. 

Overnight I became an outcast from my whole family. I could have survived even that, but then they snatched away my last hope – my only child. I have completely lost the desire to live.”
