(ANSA) - New Delhi, May 30 - A wife allegedly helped her
husband rape a neighbour's 14-year-old daughter for three months
and only stopped when she got pregnant, the Times of India said
Friday.
The pair would have continued raping the girl in a village
in the central state of Madhya Pradesh if she had not conceived,
the daily said.
India's 'rape epidemic" continues with horrific stories
coming out on an almost daily basis.
On Thursday two teenage girls were found hanged in
northern India after being gang raped.
Four men including a police officer were detained and three
others including another policeman are wanted after the cousins,
14 and 15, were found hanging from a tree in a village in the
state of Uttar Pradesh.
The girls were from the traditionally 'untouchable' Dalit
community.
On Friday the girls' relatives vented their fury at police.
Sexual violence in India has been increasingly spotlighted
since the 2012 gang rape and murder of a student on a Delhi bus.
The government tightened rape laws last year after
widespread protests but the tide of sexual violence has not
abated.
