The accused, Zahirul Islam Zia, is the son of Abu Sufian, a member of the local union council in Sonagazi North Chardarbesh village. The court will now issue the bail order once the jail authorities submit a report on the marriage. This is unprecedented when it comes to the rape cases in Feni,” said Nurul Islam Majumder, a lawyer for the plaintiff. The panel of Justice Rahim and Justice Mostafizur in October had passed a similar order allowing the marriage of a rape convict and the victim in Rajshahi. He recently appealed for bail, leading to the order allowing him to marry the victim.
