Since 1991, reports of rape by Islamic miltants have increased, and there have been many cases of the militants threatening to kill the family unless a woman is handed over to the militants. According to the HRW, the rape victims of militants suffer ostracism and there is a "code of silence and fear" that prevents people from reporting such abuse. According to the HRW, the investigation of case of rape by militants is difficult because many Kashmiris are reluctant to discuss it for the fear of violent reprisals.<ref name="HumanRightsCrisis">[http://www.hrw.org/sites/default/files/reports/INDIA937.PDF The Human Rights Crisis in Kashmir].

- Could this not be merged into Human rights abuses in Jammu and Kashmir? Whenaxis talk · contribs | DR goes to Wikimania! 00:25, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
- See my comments on that article talk. This is a spin off. It should contain a small summary there with main article link to this. --lTopGunl (talk) 00:39, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
- Who cares? This article is fubar now. Darkness Shines (talk) 00:41, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
- There's no that much content to work with on this page, so I think it can easily be moved to Human rights abuses in Jammu and Kashmir, unlike Rape during the Bangladesh Liberation War... which DarknessShines has just brought up some good points.

- This article was just started. I think it can grow into an article as good. Unlike Bangladesh war, this is a current issue and is likely to develop further continuously in addition to the same reasons for keeping that article. If at a later point it is evident that there isn't enough material for this article to be a stand alone and that it wont make that article too long, we can probably merge it. But at the moment, I think its growing at a high rate. Is that reasonable? --lTopGunl (talk) 00:59, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
- Ok. We'll give it sometime since it was just started and it's concerning recent events. Whenaxis talk · contribs | DR goes to Wikimania! 01:16, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
- Recent events my ass, it's been ongoing for twenty years. [1] This is were I had gotten to in the last couple of days. I have of course removed all that content now. Like i said, this could have been an excellent article, now it is a stick to beat India with. Darkness Shines (talk) 01:20, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Lead
Lead is supposed to be a summary of the article, currently the lead contains different content which should be probably a section. How about moving this content to a background section (or something similar) and adding only the main parts of it and other sections to the lead? --lTopGunl (talk) 17:39, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
America
Khan mentions America sexual torture in relation to rape and murder by army, police and para-military in J & K, this article also quotes US government's allegations of rape by army. How is that irrelevant? Behaviour of security forces when dealing with "terrorists" and the civilian population of the field of operation of terrorists.

- I am not going to revert DS, though if American sources are considered reliable when contradicting Indian government sources regarding an internal issue, America can be referred in the same article on terrorism and the military response. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 19:46, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Rape by militants
The rapes by Islamic militants have been reported since the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947. On 22 October 1947, Pashtun militants invaded Baramulla in a Pakistan army truck, and raped women including European nuns.[1] In March 1990, Mrs. M. N. Paul, the wife of a BSF inspector was kidnapped, tortured and gang-raped for many days. Then her body with broken limbs was abandoned on a road.[2]
On April 14, 1990, Sarla Bhat (27), a Kashmiri Pandit nurse from the Soura Medical College Hospital in Srinagar was gang-raped and then beaten to death by Islamic terrorists. Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) took responsibility for the crime, accusing Bhat of informing the police about the presence of militants in the hospital.[3][4]
On 6 June 1990, Girija Tickoo, a lab assistant at the Government Girls High School Trehgam, was kidnapped and gang raped for many days. Then she was sliced at a sawmill.[5]
Prana Ganjoo was abducted with her husband in Sopore. She was gang-raped for a number of days before the both were killed in November 1990.[6]
Since 1991, reports of rape by Islamic miltants have increased, and there have been many cases of the militants threatening to kill the family unless a woman is handed over to the militants. According to the HRW, the rape victims of militants suffer ostracism and there is a "code of silence and fear" that prevents people from reporting such abuse. According to the HRW, the investigation of case of rape by militants is difficult because many Kashmiris are reluctant to discuss it for the fear of violent reprisals.[3]
The increase in number of rape cases has resulted in an increased number of abortions, leading to one case of murder of doctor. The doctor was accused of being an informer by the Islamic groups Hezb-ul Mujahidin and Al Jehad.[3]
In January 1991, Zarifa, daughter of Mohammed Sultan was forcibly asked to "marry" a militant. Her brother Bashir Ahmed was killed when the family refused, and the girl was taken away.[2]
On 30 March 1992, armed militants demanded food and shelter from the family of the retired truck driver Sohanlal (60) in Nai Sadak, Kralkhud. The family complied, but the militants raped Sohanlal's daughter Archana. When he and his wife tried to stop them, Sohanlal was shot dead. His elderly wife was also raped. Then both the women were also shot dead.[3]
There have been many cases of militants raping the young girls by forcing them into temporary marriages (mutah in Islamic law) - these ceremonies are called "command marriages".[7] Shamima Ansari was forced to marry a the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen commander Farooq Ansari in Kishtwar in 2000. In 2005, a 14-year old Gujjar girl Roubia Kousar was abducted from Lurkoti village by the Lashkar-e-Taiba militants, and forced to marry one of them. She was gang-raped by her "husband" and his militant friends.[7] In December 2005, 15-year old Zaitoon Bano of Bajoni (Doda district) was forced to marry a Hizb-ul-Mujahideen militant Nazir Ahmed, after her family was threatened with death.[7] In 2009, a cleric Mohmmad Farooq was arrested for raping a 12-year-old girl in Poonch district.[8]
