Deceived
Hindu Girl moving on the street for justice because Muslim boy married her with
fraudulent means and also on false personification in Khulna-Bangladesh. (The
Daily Destiny dated 18th November, 2009)
Khulna Bureau
Lucky @ Sharmeen (18) became victim of fraudulent conversion roaming in the street due to delusive marriage. Lucky facing continuous atrocities on her life from her Muslim husband and his family, on the other hand she was outcaste by Hindu family because she married Muslim. There is no way open for her only suicide. Lucky described her sorrowful events with grief and anger at the Press Club in Khulna recently.
Lucky informed press that there was acquaintance with Shahidul Mollah (24) son of Abdus Sattar while she was student of Shealipara Vocational Institute at Rupsha Sub District of Khulna District in the year, 2007. The cunning Shahidul Mollah introduced her as Hindu name Emon Biswas son of Ratan Biswas. Sometimes past there established love affairs between them. Since after one year Shahidul Mollah reintroduced her as Muslim and proposed Lucky to become Muslim for marry. There was at that material time Lucky had no other alternative or return back rather than conceding to his trap in a tricky game.
Lucky Chakladar (Real name) on 31 May, 2009 made an affidavit of marriage with Shahidul Mollah before the Notary Public of Khulna and embraced Islam. On the contrary Sarat Chandra Chakladar – father of victim boycotted and outcast Lucky Chakladar because of her conversion to Islam.
Soon after such marriage of two months Shahidul Mollah and his family members started physical torture and oppression upon Lucky for dowry. At one stage Lucky tried to commit suicide due to unbearable physical torture on her.
Lucky having been physically and mentally tortured by husband, father-in-law, mother-in-law of her joint family, filed a complaint (FIR) in the Court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate –Khulna against husband, father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law for alleged offences, but of no use.
As a result atrocities against Lucky started in full swing and she registered general diary entry at Sonadanga Police station on 5th August, 5th October and 20th October, 09 respectively for her protection and security.
She also made appeal to Women’s’ Lawyers Association ( Mohila Ainjibi Samitee) for her legal help, but she did not receive any legal assistance and remedy there from.
The local influential also failed to negotiate and settle this matter amicably between them through arbitration.
Lucky also informed that her husband, father-in-law, mother-in-law created a false divorce letter “Talak Nama” and continuously threatening her and made her life miserable in different ways. She also alleged that one so-called local journalist – Abdul Mannan threatening her on behalf of her husband. At present Lucky experiencing insecurity due to continuous life threat.
She also lost liberty to go back to her Hindu parents as she embraced Islam, on the other hand she also lost right to live with her Muslim husband. She also lamented that she abandoned her religion for the sake of love with Muslim, although she want to live with her husband, but it is not practicable. She also claimed weeping if it was not possible then punish those perpetrators as like as shrewd Shahidul so that no girl like her could face tragic situation and a victim of fraudulent conversion and trap in future.
BDMW Dhaka immediately communicated with Mr.Md.Helal Uddin Badri – Metropolitan Police Commissioner-Khulna over telephone and wanted to know why police did not take any action against those perpetrators of crime and why the victim could not receive legal assistance from police despite repeated general diary entry made at the local police stations. The Police Commissioner did not answer our query and he is not aware about her situation and he requested our organisation to file an appeal to him for necessary help.
