Prohibit marriage to rapists legally
The practice of marrying rape victims to their rapists has become a tragic cultural distortion in Bangladesh. In many cases, to avoid legal consequences, the rapist and his family propose marriage as a settlement. The victim’s family also agrees, in an attempt to protect the woman’s honour. But far from being a happy union, such marriages often lead to continued abuse, separation, and even murder. Numerous accounts and evidence show that in most cases, after marriage, the husband neither maintains contact with the woman nor accepts their child, and whenever the chance arises, his first move is to drive the woman out of the house. At that point, the woman is left with no way out.
