The woman - who cannot be named for her own safety - was told she would wed the husband of her brother's new girlfriend as 'revenge' for the couple's adultery.
And within hours of tying the knot to her new spouse, she was attacked and 'mercilessly' raped by several of his brothers.
Incredibly, the horrific assault was allegedly even sanctioned by village elders in the rural settlement in Uttar Pradesh, northern India, who proclaimed: 'An eye for eye is the actual justice.'
'I agreed to [their] decision because I knew that there would be bloodbath in the village if I refused to marry him,' the woman told police.
'My brothers-in-law raped me mercilessly the same day I married. It became a routine.
'My father-in-law claimed that he had agreed to my marriage since he wanted to take revenge [on my family] this way.'
The brutal incident came to light only when the victim found the courage to file a complaint with police.
'On March 26, they registered a case against my brother and police traced him and [my husband's sister]. They were released after she confessed before the magistrate that she married him willingly," the victim alleged in her complaint.
