Put a Full Stop To Child Marriages!

Child marriages! It’s not something new. We all are aware of it yet we chose to stay silent. Isn’t? Well, it includes me too. We all think, how can we help a girl from being a victim of child marriage. But I guess, we can do. At least, we can make aware of the side effects of the child marriage on these little ones.

Today, I came across three stories of child marriage published by #UNICEF. The three unheard stories of these little girls made me realize that how lucky I was and how unfortunate were they. We should have been lucky enough to go to school and to get educated and earn.



India, especially Bihar, is one of the areas where most of the child marriages take place every year. I just have one question…Why? Why are these innocent girls punished in the name of traditions? Marriage is never a punishment but marriage at the age of 6 or 12 years, is definitely a bane.

Understand and get into your head that a girl is not born to wash the feet of a man all throughout her life. When a girl is forced into a child marriage, she goes through a mental as well as physical torture. And I do not know, what does a man find so attracting in a 6 or 10-year-old child? Man! She’s developing, she hasn’t yet had her menstruation started and you want to fuck her up. Well! That’s where such assholes should be hanged up.

Yes! Today, what I read has increased up my anger to a point where I seriously wish to thrash these men. A 6 inches’ feet man, aged 35 or 40, posing with his wife of 7-year-old. What crueler thing can you hear?

These girls have to undergo a pregnancy at a very stage, wherein 90% of them lose their kids due to poor health and hygiene. They face a lot of mental trauma as they are burdened with household works and work at paddy fields.

As far as I know, I guess, most of the parents force their daughter for child marriage in the name of money. Yes! They need money, so they sell their daughter. Go to certain child marriage prone zones, each house will have at least 10 kids. When you can’t look after them, why do you produce them? These helpless parents sell their elder daughter for money and look after their other kids. Is that fair? No, and it can never be!

Spread the word, so that we can speak out for at least one girl, whose voice is suppressed in the name of child marriage. Educate them, so that you don’t have to sell them and look after your other kids. I am sure, if you educate your one daughter, she will look after her parents and siblings all throughout her life.

Introduction E – rickshaws or Electric rickshaws have been becoming more popular in most parts of the globe since 2008. In India, e – rickshaws began to gain popularity since 2011. As these rickshaws faced a ban by the Indian government in the capital city of Delhi, the increase in their number failed. But, still they are widely used in most parts of the country.   On 8 October,2014, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways had notified the rules to regulate the e- rickshaws by making important amendments under the Motor Vehicles Rules of 1989.

Amidst Beliefs Many a time’s people might have heard about different pious superstitions. There is a temple in Jamshedpur( my birth place) which is known as Bhuvanagiri complex. It is known by this name because there two temples within a compound, one is the Guruvayur Sri Krishna temple and the other is Bhuvaneshwari temple. Both the temples together are known as Bhuwanagiri complex. When I was in Jamshedpur, I used to visit this temple very often. But I was unaware of the credence of the devotees who visited this temple. There is a small Shiv Temple attached to the Buvanashwari mandir. The shivling of this shiv temple was very famous among the citizens of the city. The shivling grows up on its own year by year. This was one of the beliefs of the devotees. I came to know about this when I was in 11th standard during the eve of Maha Shivrartri. I and my family visited to the temple to get the blessings of Lord Shiva on this occasion. I heard one of the devotees saying that the shival...
