Talking to media persons at the office of Women's Action for Development (WAD), Palace Compound here today, the victim Tampha said that she was tortured and put in confinement in the house by her husband.
Her husband tortured her for little bringing dowry and even made wild allegations of adultery.
She continued that her husband often organized parties in the house and asked her to strip in front of his drunken friends.
Her in-laws did not bother about such torture meted out to her by husband.
Her sister-in-laws even tried to tarnish her name in the society, Tampha added.
She further said that she ultimately ran out of the house unable to bear the torments of her husband as well as the in-laws.
Her right ear has lost the hearing ability due to the torture.
A spokesperson of WAD said that the organization would take up all possible measures for the victim's rehabilitation and take up legal action against her abusive husband and in-laws.
Everyone should join hands to stop domestic violence and crime against women in the State, the spokesperson enjoined.
