Muslim man gets life term for raping his mother, asking her to live with him as wife.

Aabid  Sentenced to Life Imprisonment for Raping Mother, Attempting to Force Incestuous Relationship in an Islamic Mindset.

A 36-year-old Muslim man from Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr has been sentenced to life imprisonment for raping his 60-year-old widowed mother and attempting to force an incestuous relationship, demanding she live with him as his wife.

Upendra Bharati | HENB | New Delhi | Sept 29, 2024::  A 36-year-old man, identified as Aabid, has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a court in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr district for raping his 60-year-old widowed mother. The court also imposed a penalty of Rs 51,000 on the accused. According to public prosecutor Vijay Sharma, the incident occurred on January 16 last year when the mother-son duo had gone to a farm near their home to fetch fodder from the animals.

This sentence reflects the severity with which courts view such heinous crimes, ensuring justice for the victim and emphasizing the importance of protecting vulnerable individuals from exploitation and abuse.

According to public prosecutor Vijay Sharma, Aabid brutally assaulted his 60-year-old mother while she was gathering fodder. He stuffed a cloth in her mouth to silence her, then raped her. Afterward, Aabid demanded that his mother live with him as his wife, threatening to kill her if she disclosed the incident to anyone.

Defying her son’s threats, the courageous woman shared her traumatic experience with her neighbors, who promptly informed her younger son. This brave decision led to Aabid’s prosecution and eventual life imprisonment.

On January 22, 2023, the Bulandshahr police registered a First Information Report (FIR) and took Aabid into custody. Following a year-long trial, the court delivered a guilty verdict and sentenced Aabid to life imprisonment. Additionally, the court imposed a fine of Rs 51,000.

Psychologists suggest that a cultural or familial environment tolerant of incestuous relationships may contribute to the underlying factors leading to such crimes.

Social analysts recommend addressing these crimes to prevent their proliferation and potential spillover into non-Muslim communities, including the majority Hindu population.
