True love is powerful enough to become the lifeline of those in love. This Indian man’s love for his wife has become a constant source of strength for her to stay positive and seek justice from those who raped her before their marriage.
This love story gives us hope and touches our hearts. As conflict and violence are reciprocated with more conflict, violence and negativity all around the globe, here’s a man who has set a precedent by helping her wife study law so that she can seek justice through right means.
According to Times of India, Jitender Chhatar, a 30-year-old farmer from the state of Haryana married a rape survivor on 4 December, 2015. Their marriage was decided by their families but Jitender decided to stand by the girl’s side when she told him about the truth. And it’s been more than one year of seeking justice together.
Fearing trouble for him from her abusers, she even tried to dissuade him from his decision but he stood by her like a rock. “She can join the judicial services or as a lawyer can help other rape survivors. We have already started a platform called, Youth Against Rapes,” Jitender told Times of India.
According to Indian media, Jitender continues to face the ire of the accused who keep attempting to trouble him.
“Since the day we got engaged, except for discussion with lawyer or in court we don’t talk about my case much. I and my family owe a lot to Jitender as part from fighting off the taboo, he is also facing the ire of the accused who try to frame him in false cases,” Jitender’s wife said.
Since one year according to his wife, Jitender has been running from pillar to post to seek justice for her. “He’s not restricting himself from spending money. But he’s alone and not getting any external support,” she told to New World India.
According to Times of India, she was raped and blackmailed by four, including a woman. According to Jitender’s wife all rape survivors are not so fortunate in India and Jitender is truly exceptional.
Their story continues to inspire many others to come forward to help such innocent women who suffered similar trauma in their lives.
