    14-year-old girl delivers baby after rape by brother, father, DNA of baby matches with brother

    Trigger Warning: Sexual violence

    A 14-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her father and brother, Humaira Kanwal reports for BBC Urdu.

    The girl, a resident of Azad Kashmir, was taken to hospital by her mother after she complained of stomach pain. Doctors discovered that the girl is pregnant and about to give birth. 

    The hospital staff decided to report the case to the police, but the girl delivered the baby before officers could arrive at the facility to record her statement. 

    Investigation has revealed that the victim has alleged that both her brother and father raped her several times during the last few months. The DNA of the baby she has birthed matches that of her brother’s. 

    While talking to the BBC, the investigation officer said that both the father and brother of the girl were arrested and after the completion of physical remand, they are now in jail on judicial remand. In statements given to the police, the brother and father have confessed to raping the girl.

    Federal Minister for Human Rights Dr Shireen Mazari said the government had recently passed a law against rape cases, but laws will not work alone. There is a need to change the mindset of our society about women.
    

    She said that the government has to protect all women as women will no more accept their humiliation and suffering.

    “If Pakistan has to be run, then rapists and killers must be hanged in public. We will not let the country be run in the way it is being run,” said PTI lawmaker Asma Qadeer who broke into tears while speaking on the floor of the house.
    

    Asma Qadeer talked about the rising cases of rape of women and children and the recent beheading of Noor Mukadam.
