    Always the same news coming from India, are they really that worse than every other country or what’s going on.

    Also what was the husband doing, article doesn’t mention him. Did he just sit there and watch?

      Victim blame much???

      Rape is endemic in India, that’s why this is always being reported.

        I’m not blaming the poor woman, I’m asking what the husband did. They say she travelled with her husband and that she was raped in the tent she was sleeping in. They never follow up on the husband. Was he in the tent and did nothing, or was he somewhere else.

        Put in another way, why the hell didn’t the husband intervene.

          I can tell you didnt read the article. Let me help you out by quoting a relevant bit here:

          Another official mentioned the involvement of seven to eight youths.

          It typically only takes at most 3-4 people to effectively restrain a grown man. That leaves another 3-4 to restrain and rape his wife. It seems they had sufficient numbers to achieve this with little trouble, even if they were unarmed. And I see no reason to assume they’d have been unarmed. Put a knife to his throat and it only takes one person to restrain him.

            You think I summed up what happened according to the article without reading it? Lol

            If had to choose between a trip to the hospital or watching my wife get raped, I’ll take the trip to the hospital. I reckon living out your life knowing you did nothing is worse.
