Lucknow, Nov 5 (UNI) A 16-year-old girl from Ballia district in Uttar Pradesh took a stand against her own marriage by calling authorities after learning that her family had arranged a wedding for her. Aware that she was underage and that the marriage was not legally permitted, she reached out to the Child Helpline (1098) for help. Her call set an intervention in motion, bringing together the district Department of Women and Child Development, the police and Navbharti Nari Vikas Samiti to ensure that the wedding was stopped in time.
