Shahena Uddin, 19, allegedly received beating for incurring the anger of her older siblings.
A jury was told the punishments included being made to stand for long periods staring into a toilet bowl, being made to lick the toilet bowl or seat, and being forced to eat faeces, vomit and paper.
It was claimed today the teenager wasn't allowed to use the lavatory at the home in Watford and on occasions she was forced to use a sink.
But last October she is said to have endured a number of beatings during the course of a night, suffering head wounds and injuries to her body.
Ambulance staff called to the house by the family the next morning found her lifeless body in the bathroom.
By then, said Stuart Trimmer QC prosecuting at St Albans crown court, her four brothers, a sister and her two sisters-in-law who were at the house at the time had mounted a coverup operation.
