Now a days it has become fashion for the girls to have boy friend and they feel proud if they have more than one bf.   In case a girl has no BF, she will be treated as untouchable.   In this case both the girl and her parents are also responsible for this.    this girl might have enjoyed the sex and hence did not inform her parents.
