UP Gambling Addict Puts Wife At Stake, Lets Friends Sexually Assault Her

The man also thrashed his wife and broke her finger when she went to her mother's house and refused to return.

In an incident that is more in sync with medieval times than the 21st century, a man put his wife - a mother of three young children - at stake while gambling with his friends and allowed them to sexually assault her. He also thrashed her and broke her finger when she went to her mother's house and refused to return. 

The police said they have registered a case and are investigating.

The woman, a resident of the Shahbad police station area in Uttar Pradesh's Rampur, whose identity is being kept confidential by NDTV, said, "I got married in 2013. My father-in-law and my husband tortured and assaulted me for dowry. My husband is an alcohol and gambling addict. He has lost 12 bighas (approximately seven acres) of land and all my jewellery while gambling and also put me at stake with his friends. I protested and called the 112 women's helpline, but he ran away when the police came."
