Man allows wife’s rape over unpaid gambling debt

Police said today they were looking for a man who allegedly allowed two neighbours to rape his new wife instead of paying a 3,000 takas (€54) gambling debt.

The two had been united in an arranged marriage barely two weeks when the man took his 20-year-old wife out on Tuesday on the pretext of visiting an ailing friend in Alalerchar, a remote village in northern Rangpur district, a police officer said.
