Woman murdered for marrying Dalit in Tamil Nadu

CHENNAI: In a gruesome honour killing, a 21-year-old woman was
brutally murdered by her father and relatives in Tirupur district of
Tamil Nadu on
Wednesday for marrying a Dalit youth.

Sripriya, who belonged to the backward Kallar community, had fallen
love with A Badhrakali, while she was doing an internship for her B.Ed
course.

The couple eloped and got married in Salem on September 29. Police and
relatives said Sripriya's father Srinivasan and two relatives came to
Madathukulam, near Udumalpet in Tirupur district, on Wednesday. The
newly-wed couple was staying with Badhrakali's sister in Madathukulam.
Srinivasan asked Sripriya to come to Trichi to visit her mother who
was ill.

''She refused and told them she would decide after her husband
returned home. They left quietly,'' Badhrakali's brother-in-law
Chandrasekar said. ''Then the two relatives returned. When my wife
Rani and a neighbour questioned them, one man threatened them with a
knife while the other stabbed Sripriya,'' said Chandrasekar. Sripriya
was stabbed on her neck, breasts and abdomen.
