Rights activists stop child marriage

Rights activists have stopped a child marriage about to take place in Iswarpur of Sarlahi. Activists affiliated to the Mechi-Mahkali Buhari Samyukta Awaj stopped the illegal act after being informed about it.

Prem Nath Mahato, a resident of Iswarpur municipality-7 had fixed the marriage of his 14-year-old daughter. It is unfortunate that child marriages are taking place in the state where the government has been running the 'educate daughter, save daughter' campaign, said joint-coordinator of the organisation Anjana Pant Kadariya.
