Historic conviction for rape after victim’s death

CAMPAIGN group Southall Black Sisters (SBS) welcomed a landmark ruling today that delivered justice for a survivor of rape and abuse who tragically died before her abuser was held accountable.

On Thursday, Ravi Yadav was convicted at Isleworth crown court of raping and financially abusing his wife, Gurwinder Kaur.

She sought help from SBS, which supports black and minoritised women facing abuse, and told the group how she had been coerced into the marriage aged 19.
