One of my friends shared an incident, which she recently come across.Sheela , a doctor is working in a rural area of Kerala.
Few months back, a mother brought her daughter to consult her.The girl was around 14 years old and complaining of stomach pain since a week.After preliminary examination,Sheela felt a suspicion.So she suggested to do ultrasound scanning.
The Ultrasound Scan report confirmed her suspicion.The report stated that the girl is 4 months pregegnant!!!
Sheela took the girl along with her to cabin.She asked the girl whether she was in any love affair.The girl replied negatively.She then asked the girl whether anyone had taken advantage of her.The girl kept a blank face and was just staring at the floor.
Sheela then asked the girl to wait outside and called the mother in.To mother Sheela disclosed the fact.The mother was shocked and stepped into a crying spell.In between she was cursing herself for not taking good care of her child.
Sheela tried to console her.Sheela mentioned that the girl is not disclosing the person responsible for her pregnancy.Sheela hinted her that the culprit may be a close relative or neighbour.
As abortion was not an ideal option at that stage,mother decided to take the girl to her maternal aunty's house which was quite far away.
2 weeks later,the mother somehow found out who was responsible for her girl's pregnancy.He was the girl's own father !!!
He was sexually exploiting her daughter since a year.He used to do it,while his wife goes for work.He had threatened the girl that if she discloses the fact,he will kill her.
Mother lodged a complaint in police station and the father was arrested.Sheela was summoned to court as a medical witness.
Sheela was wondering what relation the man will be sharing with his daughter's child...He will be the child's father as well as grandfather!!!
