This groom showed a mirror to the society, met the demand of the gangrape victim and said – ‘How could he leave her alone?’
A news has come out from Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh which is heart-wrenching and also gives rise to a new hope by breaking the conventions of the society. While on one hand daughters who are victims of cruelty often have to face taunts and contempt from the society, on the other hand a young man from Fatehpur has set an example. Instead of rejecting his fiancée, who was a victim of gangrape, this young man reached her door in a procession with musical instruments and held her hand in front of the whole world.
Actually, this whole matter came into discussion when shehnais were heard in the house of the victim girl. There was talk in the village and surrounding areas that the marriage would hardly take place after this accident, but the groom’s intentions were steely. He not only responded to the taunts of the society but also gave a strong message to the criminals who tried to ruin his fiancee’s life.
Fiancee’s love outweighs society’s taunts
The things said by the groom after the completion of the wedding rituals are no less than a lesson in today’s time. The groom said that he had seen the brutality that happened to his fiancee before his eyes. He said emotionally, “My fiancee was brutalized by a BJP leader and his two associates in front of me. I was helpless at that time, but that does not mean that I should leave her. If I had left her alone today, I would probably never have been able to forgive myself.”
It was a common discussion in the village that after such a big scandal, the groom would step back. People were talking about all kinds of things and the victim’s family was also in deep shock and apprehension. But when the wedding procession came to the door, everyone’s eyes became moist. The young man clearly said that he is not one to run away out of fear of the society, leaving his fiancee alone in this condition.
BJP leader and colleagues have been accused of cruelty
This entire matter has created a stir in the political circles as well. It is alleged that this incident was carried out by a local BJP leader along with two of his associates. The victim’s family was pleading for justice since the incident. In fact, this case was not only about a crime, but also about a girl’s honor and her future. There were also discussions about efforts to suppress the case due to political influence, but this step of the fiance has given a new mental strength to the victim.
According to the local people, the girl was mentally broken after the incident happened. The family feared that the marriage would break down and their daughter’s life would become hell. But the way the groom took up the responsibility, it has forced the local administration and society to think that no matter how big the criminal is, his courage should be bigger than him.
A new beginning and hope for justice
It is being told that after marriage, the couple is now preparing to fight a legal battle together. While talking to the media, the groom made it clear that his priority is to get justice for his wife and put those criminals behind the bars. The people of the society are now praising the courage of this groom. In the village where till yesterday conversations were taking place in hushed tones, today there are discussions about the bravery of this young man.
This case teaches us that love is not just a companion in good times, but also stands shoulder to shoulder in the worst times. This marriage of Fatehpur is not just a union of two people, but a big victory against those evils which look upon the victim as the culprit.
