Police Guard India’s First Married Lesbian Couple From Their Own Bloodthirsty Families

25-year-old university student Savita married her 20-year-old wife Veena (pictured) after a judge dissolved Savita’s forced marriage to a man. But now 14 of Veena’s relatives and villagers have threatened the couple with ‘dire consequences’ that might amount to an honor killing (aka murdering someone whose very existence embarrasses the fuck out of you). Local police have put the women in a safe-house with 24-7 protection. It’s like a honeymoon cottage… OF DOOM. And how long are these women supposed to stay surrounded by guards in this cozy little prison, exactly?
