Shakuntala Devi from Sinha block of Lohardaga shares about the child marriage. She says that one of her sister was married at the age of 14 years due to bad economic status of her family. In the beginning, her sister’s life was all fine but now her husband drinks a lot and beats her. He also doesn’t understand his responsibilities towards children. Now, the whole responsibility of her family has come to my father. Hence, Shankutala Devi urges that girls should not be married before the age of 18. Before getting married, they should learn to become mature, stand on own feet to be able to earn livelihoods.
