A 19-year-old woman in Saptari has been hospitalised after sustaining serious injuries in an incident of domestic violence. Prem Kala Thakur of Musaharniya Village in Rajbiraj Municipality-15 was admitted to Gajendra Narayan Singh Sagarmatha Zonal Hospital on Saturday night. According to Mohan Thakur, the victim’s father, she was badly beaten on Saturday by her husband and in-laws when she requested them to apply for her citizenship certificate and register her marriage. She has bruises all over her body and has been passing out recurrently because of pain. Thakur said her daughter has been subjected to numerous incidents of domestic violence ever since her marriage to Manoj a year ago. He said her in-laws were reluctant to register the marriage and get her citizenship certificate. In the past, Thakur said he would settle the incidents of his daughter’s abuse at the presence of local representatives and never filed a lawsuit to save his daughter’s marriage. On Saturday, though, he went to rescue his daughter upon learning that she was beaten and confined in the house by her in-laws. “Had I not reached on time and took her to the hospital, she would have died,” said Thakur. He said he lodged a complaint at Saptari District Police Office against Prem Kala’s husband and in-laws. Assistant Sub-Inspector Min Bahadur Chhetri of Women and Children Service Desk at the District Police Office said they have deployed a police team to search for the accused family members after a case of domestic violence was registered. “The accused family members have been absconding,” he said. राजविराज नपा–१५ मुसहर्नियाकी १८ वर्षीया प्रेमकला ठाकुरलाई २५ वर्षीय पति मनोज ठाकुर र ४५ वर्षीया सासू रधियादेवी ठाकुरले कुटपिट गरी घाइते बनाएको भन्दै पीडितका बुवा रुपनी गाउँपालिका–१ रायपुरका ४० वर्षीय मोहन ठाकुरले जिल्ला प्रहरी कार्यालयमा असोज १४ गते उजुरी दिएका छन् । मादक पदार्थ सेवन गरेका पतिले ‘चरित्रहीन’को आरोप लगाउँदै असोज ११ गते राति कपाल घिस्याएर लाठी र मुक्काले कुटपिट गर्दा उनको शरीरभरी चोटपटक र निलडाम लागेको छ । कुटपिटबाट बेहोस पीडितलाई उनका बुवा मोहन ठाकुरले उद्धार गरी असोज १२ गते राजविराजस्थित गजेन्द्रनारायण सिंह सगरमाथा अञ्चल अस्पताल भर्ना गराएका छन् । शरिरभरी जताततै चोटपटकको निलडाम लागेकी पीडितको उजुरी आएकोले पीडितको असोज १५ गते घाउजाँच परीक्षण गरी कारवाही प्रक्रिया अगाडि बढाइने जिल्ला प्रहरी कार्यालयका एसपी राजेन्द्र विष्टले बताए । घाइतेको सोही अस्पतालमा उपचार भइरहेको छ । सामाजिक परम्परा अनुसार ०७४ वैशाख ३ गते विवाह गरेका पीडितका पति मनोज ०७४ असारको पहिलो साता रोजगारीका लागि मलेशिया गएपछि घरनिकाला भएकी पीडित रुपनी गाउँपालिका–१ रायपुरस्थित माइतीघरमा विस्थापित भएकी थिइन् । पति विदेशबाट फर्केपछि पीडित भदौ २० गते घर गएकी थिइन् । पीडितले विवाह दर्ता र नागरिकता बनाइदिन भन्दा आरोपितहरूले चरित्रहीनको आरोप लगाई अर्को विवाह गर्ने धम्की दिँदै मरणासन्न हुने गरी कुटपिट गरेको पीडितको आरोप छ ।
