JODHPUR: “You must be hearing the sound of wedding songs. I will be married off shortly. Please get this stopped. I am being forced to marry,” were the words from the other side of the phone to the chairperson of Rajasthan State Commission for Protection of Child Rights Sangeeta Beniwal.
A minor girl pleaded Beniwal to stop her marriage following which the administration swung into action and reached the house of the girl. Interestingly, a day back the girl had informed Beniwal.
She sent police to her house but they did not do anything and advised her parents to marry her off on some other day.
Police brought the girl to the police station amid the wedding ceremonies without facing any resistance from the family members and began further process.
"On this, I called up the district magistrate who sent the police to her house for action. A team of CWC also reached her place," she said.
