Bangladeshi Man In UK Jailed For Kidnapping, "Marrying" And Raping A Woman

A 21-year-old woman has been scarred for life (both physically and emotionally) after a 46-year-old Bangladeshi man kidnapped her, in London, because he wanted her for himself. In spite of the fact that she was already a married mother, he forced her to "marry" him in what would be considered an illegal union, since the so-called 'marriage' was officiated by an imam, and was not a civil union. Even more harrowing for the poor young woman was the fact the animal continuously raped her for 2 days, until she was finally able to escape. But during her escape, jumping out of a window, she sustained serious injuries that have left her disabled, and with a constant reminder of her hideous ordeal.

The Bangladeshi lured his victim to a bedsit, where he got a Muslim cleric to conduct the ceremony before male guests.

A wedding video showing the bride sobbing in a corner during the 3am service was shown to the court.

Not only does the woman have to deal with the obvious physical and mental damage, she will also have to endure the inevitable shunning that will take place as a result of what happened to her.

In a statement, the victim told the court her injuries were a ‘constant reminder’ of her ordeal and she was also frightened east London’s Bangladeshi population would shun her, adding: ‘In the Asian culture, I will be ostracised... because they will not understand the full facts.’

According to the prosecutor Richard Hearnden, ‘The defendant made it very clear he was going to marry her whether she wanted to or not.’ As a result of the fact that the kidnapper/rapist had no regard for the fact that the woman was already married, and was forced into a 'marriage' against her will, the judge, Alan Pardoe, deemed the man was capable of ‘significant risk of serious harm’ to other women, and so sentenced him to an undetermined amount of time in jail. .

The attacker, who cannot be named, was convicted of false imprisonment, two counts of rape, causing grievous bodily harm and actual bodily harm. He received an indeterminate prison sentence and was ordered to serve at least ten years before being considered for release.

He was also ordered to pay his victim £90,000 compensation, pay £25,000 costs and sign the sex offenders’ register for life.

The defendant claimed his victim was a ‘willing bride’. He said the woman jumped from the window in a suicide bid after rowing with her family.

Why the name of a rapist is being protected by the justice system seems pretty bizarre, but I'm not familiar with the British legal system. What I do know, is that there is something fundamentally evil about the ability for a man to forcefully "marry" a woman, and believe it to be 'right' in the eyes of God. Rape is rape, no matter whether it is within a legal or illegal marriage union. I hope he stays in jail forever.
