And the person was no uneducated man, but the doctor. Dentist who suspected his wife's loyalty has made her drink his urine. This incident came to light when the 27-year-old woman filed a case against her husband and in laws.

The victim got married to Akash Raj, who was a dentist by profession, in 2005.

Victim has also mentioned that her husband suspected her of running a brothel before her wedding and allegedly ordered her not to speak to men. In her complaint, she has also stated that he asked her whether she slept with the electrician when the electrician visited the home one day on some repair work. He even allegedly suspected illicit affair between the victim and her neighbour.

She has alleged that when she was suffering from menstrual pain, Akash not only forced her to work between the sheet but also made her drink his urine and all this because of dowry.

The government should obey the demands of the people and eminent scholars asking it (govt) to bring stringent law against domestic violence.
