Raped repeatedly by maternal uncle ever since she was a toddler and had to later undergo multiple abortions, a nearly 40-year-old woman has finally been able to get him to face trial in a Delhi court.

The woman alleged that she was first sexually abused in 1981 when she was 4-year old and was made to undergo three abortions by the time she reached Class 10th.

Additional Sessions Judge Umed Singh Grewal framed charges against the man saying prima facie alleged offences of rape and criminal intimidation under the Indian Penal Code are made out against the accused, who is also the husband of the victim's step sister.

The woman had lodged an FIR against the accused in 2016
