In a shocking incident, a 45-year-old man was booked by Deonar police for allegedly raping his 17-year-old ‘wife’ thrice in four days.

According to the Hindustan Times, the 53-year-old father of the minor had got her married to the accused after he told him that she had a dream in which a saint had ordered him to marry her. The cops have said that the accused raped the teenager from April 4-6 when they were in Haji Malang in Kalyan, after which he fled to Bihar. The minor’s father, who is also the complainant, told cops that he and the accused used to work together in an envelope-manufacturing firm and were devotees of a saint, who has a dargah in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh. The accused started living with the complainant’s family in Govandi in 2017.

The FIR states that, on March 25, the accused told the complainant that the saint had appeared in the minor’s dream, and had ordered him to marry her and visit the UP dargah. On April 3, the complainant got his daughter married to the accused. After the marriage, the accused took the minor on a three-day trip to Haji Malang. When they returned on April 7, the accused, the complainant, his daughter, and his family members left for Gorakhpur and during travelling the accused told the complainant’s son that he had married his sister. This angered the minor’s brother, who fought with the complainant and the accused. After returning home the complainant’s his sister asked the minor if the accused did anything wrong to her and that is when the minor told that the accused raped her, after which they approached the police.

The cops have booked the accused under sections 376 (rape) of the Indian Penal Code and 6 and 8 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act and are on searching the accused.
