Have you ever asked yourself how far you are willing to go?

Do you know your wagering limits? Or are you one of those who are ready to wager all they have to quell your gambling addiction?

An Indian poker player just did the unthinkable. He wagered his wife in a poker game.

The poker player was indulging in a game of poker with his two friends and he ran out cash. That’s when he decided to bet his wife. Unfortunately, he lost the game and to hold his end of the bargain, allowed his friends to rape his wife, repeatedly.

According to the Sun, the poker player resides in Juanpur-an Indian city in the province of Uttar Pradesh. After the incident, the wife ran away to her relative’s.

However, the husband managed to coerce her to go back with him to their place. Unfortunately, the husband’s intent was to have her gang-raped again by his two friends.

NDTV reported that the woman tried to get help from the police but couldn’t get any. The police refused to file her complaint and they only acted when the woman used the court to compel them.

 

The State of Indian Poker

Over the years, Indian poker has grown tremendously and the above story is an isolated case. As a matter of fact, it is the first documented sexual assault case involving poker in India.

Online poker is deemed legal in India. Currently, there is no legislation that defines the legality of poker in the country. The only piece of legislation which applies to poker is the law on gambling.

Games of chance are considered illegal while “games of skill” are legal. Poker falls in the latter.

However, like in the United States, some states in India have their own stand-alone laws vis-à-vis gambling. For instance, gambling is only legal in Daman, Goa, Sikkim, and Nagaland.

Also, you may not get to play poker, online or otherwise, in the state of Telangana. The Telangana Gambling Bill of 2017 outlawed all forms of gambling in the state including games of skill such as poker. We, however, hope the remaining states will take a liberal stands towards poker in the coming years.
