UP Woman Allegedly Forced to Abort Twice
A woman in Uttar Pradesh suffers abuse, forced abortions, and humiliation from in-laws pressured by patriarchal son preference.
A woman from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, Mehak Khan, has revealed a deeply disturbing story of abuse and coercion in her marital home, highlighting the grim realities of gender bias and dowry harassment prevalent in some parts of India.
After marrying Shah Faheed in 2021, Mehak was immediately subjected to demands for several lakhs of rupees and a car as dowry. When she could not meet these demands, she faced daily physical beatings that left her with serious spinal injuries.
The abuse intensified after she gave birth to a daughter. During her next two pregnancies, ultrasounds determined the foetuses were female, leading to forced abortions both times.
Shocking allegations also include Mehak being compelled to have sexual relations with her father-in-law and brother-in-law upon her mother-in-law’s instructions, in an attempt to conceive a male child.
Mehak Khan's story highlights the grim realities of gender bias and dowry harassment.
