This girl was forced to marry a 22 year old man when she was just 11. By the age of 13, she had already become a mother.
At an age when she should have been going to school, laughing with friends, and chasing her dreams.
And now, her husband has reportedly abandoned her and run away, leaving her to fight alone for justice and legal protection.
Can you really call this marriage?
No. This is the theft of a child’s childhood, freedom, and future.
Why should a young girl’s future be sacrificed for the decisions of adults? And why should she be left to bear the consequences all alone?
What this girl needed was not a husband, marriage, or motherhood.
She needed education, freedom, and the childhood every child deserves.
No religion, tradition, or cultural practice should ever be used to justify stealing a child’s future.
