Woman thrashed by mother-in-law for entering Sabarimala

Kanaka Durga on January 2, had walked inside the premise of Sabarimala Temple, along with Bindhu Ammini. The two created history by defying a decades-old ban on the entry of women of menstruating age to enter the temple. 

After two weeks in hiding due to threats, Kanaka went to her house on Tuesday. However, when she went home, she was welcomed by her furious mother-in-law. Kanaka alleges that her mother-in-law beat her up with a wooden stick and threw her out of the house. 

Kanaka was allegedly hit 10-12 times. She had to be taken to the hospital. Kanaka reportedly said, "She said who is there? When I replied it was me, she came from the kitchen, took a wooden stick and started beating me. She said I'd slept with many people, they (mother-in-law and husband) didn't want to be at that house and started abusing me."

According to reports, a case has been booked against Kanaka's mother-in-law.
