Halima Begum's daughter Cameli was a 2nd year student of Shah Ali Mohila Degree College. She got married to Monir Hossain without the knowledge of her family on 22.5.02. On 15.5.02, her Mother came to know of Cameli’s marriage and pregnancy. Halima took her to Monir's house on 18.5.02 at about 11 am. On that day Cameli's brother-in-law Akhtar abused her with indecent harsh words and beat her mercilessly. A GD was filed at Mirpur P.S on the matter. After filing GD, she came back to her Mother's house. On 19.5.02 Halima again went with Cameli to Monir's house. Monir, Shahrior (Monir’s brother) and Akhter (Monir's brother-in-law) asked 1 lac taka for dowry. Cameli refused to give the dowry. As a result, accused Monir Hossain, Akhter, Monsur Ali, Shipra and Shahriar's wife beat Cameli inhumanly and kicked her on lower abdomen. Cameli started bleeding from her female organ but even then they got her out of Monir's house. Cameli came back to her Mother's house and Halima and her elder daughter took her to Shohid Sohrawardy Hospital on 20.5.02 where she was VSG tested. As her condition deteriorated at DMCH, she was brought to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Comeli got an abortion and Halima filed a case along with the USG report under sec 11(c)/30 of Women and Child Repression Prevention Act 2000.

BNWLA assisted the public prosecutors to conduct their case. On 10.7.08, the Honorable Nari O Shishu Norjatan Daman Tribunal gave a verdict against Monir Hossain and Akhter. They were given 3 years imprisonment. The Tribunal also fined with Tk 5000 each and in default of paying that fine they will suffer six months imprisonment. Accused Shamima was acquitted.
