Kundapur: Girl accuses youth of raping her for 9 years with fake promises of marriage

Daijiworld Media Network - Kundapur (SP)

Kundapur, Feb 5: A girl from Ardi village within Belve gram panchayat in the taluk has filed a complaint in Shankarnarayana police station, accusing a youth of raping her when she was a minor and continuing to do so for the last nine years, with fake promises of marriage. She said the youth had defrauded her by snapping relationship and breaking his promise of marriage.

The girl in her complaint alleged that Pradeep Naik of Barigadde, Konjady 'raped' her for nine years before dumping her.

The complainant said she was 15 when she came into contact with the boy for the first time. Pradeep had visited her home to attend to some masonry work, and at the time she said she was alone at home, as her parents, who are coolies, had gone out to work. Pradeep made use of this opportunity to come close to the girl and make her believe with his sweet words that he was interested in marrying her. This acquaintance slowly developed a bond between the two in due course, and the relationship turned physical. The girl said she was not amenable for sexual relationship initially as she was only 15 years old then, but submitted after Pradeep reiterated his undying love for her and pledged to stay committed to her, and eventually marrying her. The physical relationship continued since then.

Her parents came to know about this relationship after about a year. When they confronted the boy, it is said, he repeated his earnest desire to marry her. She said Pradeep also took her in his motor bike to places of pilgrimage like Murdeshwar, Subrahmanya, and Dharmasthala. Whenever he was reminded of his promise of marriage, Pradeep made her believe that he would enter wedded life after his younger sister was married away, but failed to keep this promise. On another occasion, he told her he would marry her after his planned pilgrimage to Sabarimala, but failed once again to keep up his words.

The girl says she had approached Shankarnarayana police three months back with the complaint, but did not insist on filing written complaint, after the police personnel promised her to settle the issue between the two by holding talks with the boy and his family members. She said a decision to pursue the case was taken after observing that there was no progress on this issue. The youth in the meanwhile, negotiated with her through some others by offering two lac rupees in return for dropping the demand to marry her, but she refused to yield.

Now, a complaint stands registered in Shankarnarayana police station. At the time of filing the complaint, Bajrang Dal district assistant convener, Vijay Kumar Shetty Goliangady, Abhimani Sports Club president, Santoshkumar Shetty Ardi, former taluk panchayat president, Deepika S Shetty, and some others had accompanied the girl.

    Please treat this case has a consent sex rather then rape. Since 9 years she is co operating with him and now she is filling the complaint of rape.

If relationship is not working , then call it 'quit' , why nail man and FORCE him to marry. Besides why don't BD help those boyz who get dumped by girls ?1 why double standards !?

    'Rape' has become a very common wayward word nowadays, though its definition and punishment is deadly, and is being used by females at the of a hat!!

    What a joke, raped for 9 long years...hmmm!!!

    The below is an excerpt from a recent judgement given by Mumbai HC in a similar type of case:

    "The court also pointed out that a couple may fall out of love and questioned if the physical relationship they had before could be termed as rape. "A couple in love may be having sexual relationship and realize they are not compatible, and sometimes love between the parties is lost and their relationship dries gradually, then earlier physical contacts cannot be said as rape. A marriage cannot be imposed," said the judge."


    Wonder what remedial measure is there for a male (many minors too) who is seduced by promise of marriage etc. even by older women (with promise of gifts etc.) into having relationships to satiate their carnal desires???

    Kusuma Kumariji,

    I have seen a lot of comment from you in this column where most of them makes sense but not thins one. You talked about providing adequate compensation. What compensation. This news even should not be here. There are hundreds of people who are given promises in return of something (Voters for example)You cant complaint to anyone for believing those promises and giving everything. We all live in the world where oral promises have no value but everything goes on written documents when it comes to law. Morally it is wrong to give false promises but it is not illegal or else today all our politicians should be in the jail including our prime minister. So, naturally there should not be any talk about compensation from the legal point of view but as a human, it is up to him to compensate

    But in life money plays an important role Ashok. We can get this girl married to the boy who cheated her. But will such a marriage work. Aforced marriage will not give any peace for both of them In such a situation I feel the girl must be comepnsated at least financially be means money. Thats what I feel is right. Anyway its up to the girl to decide.

    Maam on what grounds are you expecting the boy to compensate when he is not married and both enjoyed the consensual relationship for 9 long years!! Any dumb female would have cut off the relationship after a short period knowing that he was giving flimsy reasons when being asked to get married!!

    Now, the female has indirectly spoiled her prospects of getting married to someone else as the matter is fully in public domain!! Wise thing would have been to dump this guy, forget the past, and started life afresh!!!

    I really and wholeheartedly appreciate the work done by the Translator in this case.
    See writing 'bara baraa' in Kannada in all these eloping and dumping cases is very easy.
    In English you have to carefully
    use words.All English words have 2-2 meanings. Is it not?
    For eg: Ditch, Bitch and all that stuff. it is not very easy. English is a very funny language like Sir Amitabh said in the film 'Namak Halal'Is it not?
    'Sonkinindaa Roga haraditu' you write easily in Kannada..can you write'Touching-disease Spreading'in English ..No- No?
    So it's very difficult.
    Three cheers for translators in Daiji whose ordeal may be more or equal to that of the 'jilted' in many of the articles posted here!!

    "The girl said she was not amenable for sexual relationship initially as she was only 15 years old then, but submitted after Pradeep reiterated his undying love for her and pledged to stay committed to her, and eventually marrying her. The physical relationship continued since then." Unquote...
    This really brings a smile to my face honestly. We were not 'saints' I tell you, at least I was not during my times. I reveal now something which is fraught with danger for me no doubt.... 2 instances......
    1. Just out of college...I had this sort of well 'friendship' with one of my colleagues. Very shy I was then! Circumstances conspired once(thy always do in one'd life time!)and we were alone together.
    One conversation lead to the another and we hugged each other...
    passionately of course! Then after 2 minutes I let go! I still remember her retort then!
    Know your organs well before use!!
    I still blush...when I remember.
    2. More mature after this experience I met an innocent girl, whom I became very attached to. Once she told me 'LoveI Like ...but only from Chest up!!!..I was mature ..by then ..O.k!
    So I replied' What about your other organs??You think they are there only for whistling'???
    She squealed and ran off.She still squeals when she sees me!!
    No names please. Anyone bold enough to reveal such experiences in their life?

    Wow! What a story. If any foreigners see this story they will laugh to death. Raping for 9 years. Does she know what is rape?? She told about this rape to her parents after 8 years and to the police after 9 years. What kind of joke it is!! If anyone promises to marry you, then ask them to marry first. If you want to sleep with them before marriage, it's fine you can do it since you have your choices but you cant compliant about it later on. That was not rape but sex with consent. I have told in this forum before that there will be more incidents of rape in the future unless the Law is clear about the definition of rape. Women start to take advantage of the law. If women sleep for some promises (marriage, job, promotion, seat for medical collage or anything) its up to them to accept the result. No one needs to keep their promises as promises are made to break....ask our politicians..

    subject can not be a "rape". It's not a rape. She enjoyed with the guy for 9 years, roaming all pilgrimage / tourism places. Where were the parents then. How come all of sudden they came to know. It's simple case of threatening to get married. that's it. A rape case can not have 9 years history. please... I feel olden days girls were smarter not to get in to all these mess when they are minors. Now a days, we are modernized and falling in to all these stupid things. Come on... 15 years if a age where girls will know everything and still falling in to the trap... it's your own fault and now it's pay back time. Don't bring police or law in to this.

    1..Waa Onji 'Love Story' Ye!!!
    2. No where have I read anything like this.
    3. Refusing to yield when 15 and then agreeing.It means she was in her senses when 15 and in later years the senses left her.
    4. Bike Rides to Murdeshwar,Subrahmanya and Dharmasthala when reminded of marriage? Why to eat 'Tekkere'??
    Nonsense.
    5.For continuous 9 years playing Lagori with one chap and you do not come to know his intentions?
    6. One look at his face in the photo here ,you come to know he is a 'Chaalbaaz'!! C'mon ...girls are supposed to be smart nowadays.!
    7. Now he is offering 2 lakhs aa?
    And that 'utensil' in front of your face? free of cost aa??
    8. Listen to one thing girl. This case is 'pusukaa'. A guy who can make you got through all this, will you think can keep you happy hereafter?.....Hw has looted, exploited you and you better come to terms with it.
    Times have changed. You challenge him, no doubt , but forget leading your 'life' with him.
    gather yourself and move on.

    Ismail, why man has to pay? You said it is consensus sexual relationship, then why man have pay?? He made her happy all these years and she made him happy. He spent on her with all pilgrims. Don't you think that he has paid enough when you have consensus sex with no legal relationship?? Would you still pay more if you already paid for the services you got. Read my previous comment. I do not blame the guy a lot though I am not supporting him. At 15 she is grown up enough to understand the consequences of these kind of relationship which lasted for 9 years
