This has been informed in a Delhi court. Surprisingly this newsitem is not sync in line of views of our media and secularists that Muslims in India are unsafe and are tormented by Hindus. This case underlines the need of speedy trial of rape cases and while one has sympathetic views for the victim, this should not open a way to force some unwilling girl into marriage by faorcing rape. The girl needs to know that by marrying her rapist she will only allow him to escape and maybe repeat the heinous act on some other girl. His muslim status allows him to marry four times and divorce her as per his wish. The secularists should also know that Hindu or Muslims, everyone faces law and order problem. It is wrong to paint Hindus as perpetual tormentors and Muslims as perpetual victims, as the case shows. Udita Agrawal Sir,
