The survivor has been married 13 years before in Samastipur District. Her husband was 35 years old at that time, the survivor was abused by the in-laws and one day they went out of their limit and pushed the survivor and beat her with the whip used to beat the ox. After this incident when survivor went to her mother’s house(Jharkhand) there they said that she should compromise and adjust with their in-laws as after the marriage the house of husband is the house of the wife, and hence after few days her brother left her in the house of her in-laws, after the arrival of the survivor in her in-laws house she was then suffered with more physical and mental abuse on regular basis and in midst of all the struggle she gave birth to a male child and after the birth of the child, survivor was tortured with more physical work and also once her husband came from outside and poured hot dal over her and caused her burnt injury and she again came back to her mother’s house but they didn’t supported her and later they took her back to her in-laws house and their her in-laws prohibited her from entering in the house and after few days the her mother in law and her husband planned on taking her to Nepal and said that they have some business to do there, hence she have go along with them but the actual plan of her husband was to kill her.
