💨 Abstract

In Dennilton, a 45-year-old man was sentenced to life imprisonment for raping a 9-year-old girl on his wedding night. The Limpopo High Court found him guilty after a strong case presented by the State Advocate, including DNA evidence and testimony from the groom's uncle. The court emphasized the man's betrayal of trust and aggravated the sentence due to his lack of remorse. The sentence aims to protect vulnerable victims and deter gender-based violence.
