A man who repeatedly raped his wife over the course of their short marriage will serve four years in prison, less six months time served, Superior Court Justice James Diamond ruled Friday.

Rajinder Gupta’s mother Sheela Gupta, convicted of uttering death threats and assault, was given a suspended sentence of two years. His father Vinod Gupta, convicted of uttering death threats, was given a conditional sentence of two years.

Rajinder Gupta’s actions were “repulsive and reprehensible,” Justice Diamond said, describing a pattern of physical and sexual violence that began on the wedding night of the three-month arranged marriage in 2015 and escalated until his wife went to the police. The Guptas “abused their positions of trust” over the vulnerable woman who moved into their home, setting strict rules about what she could eat and cook and controlling her access to money, he said.

The victim cannot be identified due to a publication ban that can be ordered in sexual assault cases at the request of a victim.

None of the Guptas expressed remorse prior to the sentencing decision and declined to address the court.

Sheela Gupta dabbed away tears as her son was handcuffed and placed into the prisoner’s box during a brief court break.

The victim, who was not present in court Friday but attended the sentencing hearing earlier this year with her parents, told court her life has been ‘ruined’ and she remains afraid of entering any new relationships.

Diamond found Rajinder Gupta guilty of four counts of sexual assault and one count of assault last year. Gupta vaginally and anally raped his wife, telling her to “let the pain happen,” Diamond ruled.

One of the sexual assaults took place on their wedding night and another during their honeymoon at Niagara Falls. The victim testified that she would have sex with Gupta during their marriage “just to make him happy.” When she refused to have sex he would threaten to kill himself or leave the marriage, she testified.

Sheela Gupta harshly slapped the victim and told her she “should be killed” for not making her son happy, Diamond found.

The Crown had sought a sentence of four or five years for Rajinder Gupta and a short jail sentence for Sheela Gupta.

The defence had sought a sentence of 30 months for Rajinder Gupta with extra credit for time served due to conditions during his 78 days of pretrial custody. Justice Diamond found that there were no exceptional circumstances warranting enhanced credit for this period of time.
