A 15 year old girl was in a close relationship with a 17-year-old in Madhya Pradesh’s Damoh district. 

The boy raped her in February 2021 and left the girl pregnant. The girl’s family came to know about it in August when the girl complained of stomach pain. Doctors at the district hospital informed the family about the pregnancy. Later, the girl shared what happened with her family. The family filed a complaint and the boy was caught and has been lodged in a juvenile home. The girl gave birth to the baby on October 16 in a district hospital. However she then told people that her child died of natural causes but when doctors checked the baby they said the child died of strangulation. The police said she did this because she felt  humiliated to give birth to a baby after being raped. She has been arrested and placed in a juvenile home.
