Rupendehi, dahejnadiyeko karan naari kathin paristhiti ma. Rupendehi/March 3 A woman has been thrown out of her home in Butwal with an excuse of not providing sufficient dowry. Ganga Subedi, 32, of Gwalipath in Butwal Municipality-11 was thrown out of the house by her husband and mother-in-law after she could not provide enough dowries to her family. The victim has stated that she was ill-treated by her husband Krishna and mother-in-law Laxmi after she could not provide adequate amount of dowry asked by her family after marriage. Even though the victim kept quiet at first, she had to come out in public after not being able to handle further torture. The couple married in 2010 and has two sons. The husband is said to have moved to Kathmandu and remains out of contact after the complaint was lodged. Ganga has specified that she had been facing mental as well as physical torture by her husband and mother-in-law every day after failing to provide jewelries and money to their relatives during their marriage. Even after providing the dowry t with the help of her parents, Ganga continued to be tortured by her husband and in-laws and finally thrown out. Additionally the family asked for a car as a dowry that led her to reach out for her natal relatives, yet she was fully not open about the situation, which led to her getting thrown out of the house just after four months of marriage. After the effort of her relative she once again went back to her house but the family did not stop torturing her for dowry and threw her out of the house once again, even during her pregnancy. Ganga built up her courage to go back to her home but was not let in by her mother-in-law. She has now filed a case against her husband in the district court for asking for her half of compensation but the final verdict is yet to come out. District Judge Balchandra Sharma had verbally asked Ganga to go back to her house but once again she was barred by the mother-in-law. Even though police, neighbors as well as women right activists were present in the locality to help Ganga get back into the house, the mother-in-law refused to let her in without the written order of the court. She entered home with the help of local people after they broke the lock of the house let her in. Inspector Som Thapa of Butwal Area Police Office has said that Ganga is currently residing in her maternal house.
