The husband told his wife not to tell anyone about the rape, threatening her if she revealed the truth,” said the Police Captain.

However, the wife told the girl’s grandmother about the rape.

The girl’s grandmother reported the case at the Mudon Police Station. Police made the arrest and the perpetrator has been charged under the Burmese Criminal Act #376 punishment for rape and #363 – punishment for kidnapping.
