Blog 11: Indian girl refuses to get married

The decision of a 12 year old Indian girl to defy her parents and not get married has changed her life, and also the lives of may other girls in her village, who, empowered by her, made the same decision, as published by ABC News

I like to see how one individual's decision can change many lives. Apparently the Indian government does look the other side regarding child marriages, even though the law does not allow them.

I wish Rekha Kalindi the best for her future. She prefers going to school than getting married and thanks to UNICEF the chance to go to school instead of to work was possible.
