damn. thats so rough. I think that as her friend you should help her get out of that house in any way. As long as she is 16 or 15 she can move out. It would be best for her to get out as soon asa possible and once she is gone she can take him to court and get a restaining order. i think you should help her get out of her house and help her with whatever she needs. I hope you can helpher. i hate to see people in bad situations and no one to help. i know it must be killing you inside too. i hope every thing works out. please keep us posted on what happens.
how old is she?

This is definately a tough one. Not only was she raped but by someone she should have been able to trust and love, that makes is so much harder to go to the police after that. When I was a teenager I had a friend that told me her stepfather molested her. I took her home with me even though she protested. I told my parents so that they could help me help her. Now in her case she had a mother still and we immediately contacted her first. She came to get her daughter and we made sure that she was not taken back home.
In your friends case since she has no mother does she have any other close relatives in the area? Preferrably from her mothers side. If not still get her out of that house, if your a younger person living at home, tell your parents so that they can make then the appropriate calls needed. Assure her that she will be safe with you and can stay with you until needed. Dont let her go back home! These are not situations that as people we can look the other way, try to help those who in this situation think that they cannot help themselves.
The best of luck to the both of you, please post what ended up happening.

Go to the police as soon as possible. In Malaysia a few months back I read some news and saw an article where a grandfather with 12 kids raped his granddaughter. That's worse and I think indeed situation you posted is a very tough situation, considering her father might be the only family she has. Best of luck to the both of you and hope everything goes well in the end. God bless.

I would suggest you offer to get your friend out of that house and away from her father and go straight to the police or social services to report what happened. Obviously her father is a very disturbed individual who cannot be trusted. Likewise your friend is not safe in that house and needs to receive help.
If your friend is too scared to try to leave then you need to contact the authorities for her to get her the help that she needs.
Good luck!

yes, I agree with you... such ruthless act should be reported to the authorities as soon as possible and the father should be put to jail FOREVER!

I am SO sorry to hear about the situation your friend is in. I feel for her and she's lucky to have you as a friend to support her.
As hard and humiliating as it may be for her she needs to go to the police immediately. This man has serious problems and it's almost guaranteed that he will rape her again - and yes, he may even kill her. He may even do it to a woman outside the family - if he hasn't already. I wouldn't be surprised if this abuse has been going on longer than just this last episode.
Would she trust your parent's enough to let them get involved (as far as giving her a safe house)?She also needs to get into counseling ASAP! Do everything you can to get her out of the dark hole she finds herself in. Maybe look into finding a rape center in the area, they can help as well and she should be able to get all the legal advice and counseling she needs for free.

She needs help getting away from her father. He feels that he has to keep her aware that he has power over her and threatens her constantly because he is inwardly afraid that she will tell on him. He knows what he did is wrong and that if she ever told on him, he would be in serious trouble. If you could get some adults involved who could support her and take her in this could help. Talk to a school counselor or someone else who can report this to the right people or go directly to someone in authority (children's services or police). The only reason he humiliates her is to make her feel that she did something wrong and that she is dirty so she will not turn him in, because he knows that she did nothing wrong and it is all on him.

This is disgusting this man should be put in jail for doing this to his own daughter, I had a friend of mine and this happened to her well a few years later she did charge her father and he is stil in jail where he belongs, it is very hard when you have not put how old this girl is.

Best Thing to do is to somehow get her out of that house... Maybe she can make up an excuse that she is staying at your place for a while. Then you can plan it all out from there... Restraining order would work well as well... Taking him to court... Anything that will get him away from you for a longg time...

She needs to get out of that situation FAST! Not only is he violating her, but threatening to kill her for telling anyone? The guy needs to be locked up; plain and simple. Urge your friend to talk to an aunt if she has any. She also needs to report this to a counsler of some sort. Mainly, she needs to remove herself so that she can no longer be prey to this sicko, and then report him. If she reports him before she can safely be someone where he can't reach her, there's no telling what he'll do. If it happens again before she is able to get out, tell her to save some of the semen somehow for evidence, or go to a hospital.

hi, this might be risky. But one possibility is that if you know a cop in your area, you may as well as report this incident to him without the knowledge of your friend's father. The cops may be able to help you and your friend.

I see that you are in Pakistan, therefore I suggest that you proceed with EXTREME caution.
Even with the 2006 passage of the Women's Protection Bill, there is very little that the corrupt officialdom is likely to help
The laws in Pakistan allowed a blind woman Safia Bibi to be prosecuted as an adultress, because she could not identify the four men who raped her. (disgusting Law)
I am aware that under certain circumstances in Islamic Law, which Pakistan follows it is legal for a father to take the life of his daughter.
So:
1. Try to find a sympathetic relative of your friend. This person should be willing to provide economic and political assistance to your friend. This person also needs to be better connected politically and otherwise than the father.
This must also be done with a great deal of caution, because in such societies as Pakistan it is not clear as to who can be trusted to not blame the girl for her father's behaviour.
2. Try contacting a non governmental organization such as Insaniyat. http://www.insaniyat.sdnpk.org
Islamabad Office +92512876960
( if you live in the Gujranwala area +92431777192)
Try to give her as much emotional support that you can give. Perhaps if your own parents can be trusted to be supportive, they could be brought into the situation, and their advice on the best course of action taken.

Coffeeechat,
I am glad I was not the only one who check the profile before responding (I'm on page 2, response 19).
I really liked your advise, you seemed to know a lot about Paskistan law & so think your response will be3 the most helpful (at least out of the one's I've read)

Sorry for the error. Hope this helps. If you need any further support or help just send me a message.
Not sure what I can do, but the mylot community is quite powerful and we do have the ability to bring a lot of pressure on your government if your friend decides to make a go of it.
All the very best.

Tell the police and ask their advice what to do. Then in the process, tell your friend she has to tell in order to get it to stop. Good luck and God Bless

if you could ask her to leave home & stay over either at your place or a friends till something works out for her. I know it may sound stupid but its no point involving the cops since the damage is already done & involving cops could damage her name. No point in living in that house with that MADMAN!!!who cant differentiate between mother & daughter. Just be there for your friend, dont back off

dont call the police?
so, in other words just let the pervert run around free so he can never pay for what he has done and so he can continue to do the same. and so he can keep threatening the poor girl.
He needs to be locked up for life! he needs to be no where near her so she dont have to see his face again. he shouldnt be allowed to be on the streets where there are children.
he needs to pay the price for what he has done and someone needs to rescue this girl.

oh, that's very horrible... i think you should get her out of their house... maybe she could stay with you for the moment until you could find some place for her? she really is not safe 'there'.. and as for the father, it's really her decision if she wants him jailed or not... but if he keeps on threatening her and torturing her with humiliating things, you better accompany her to the PD. good luck.. take care
