Police looking for parents who are on the run
Child brides break down in tears as they are forced to marry boys of mass Indian wedding ceremony. (YouTube) A mass child marriage ceremony has been captured on camera - showing young brides crying as they are forced to wed.
In the video that has been circulated on social media, a girl of around 10-years-old is seen crying and pleading for help as her father as he rags her to the ceremony.
In another clip a priest - conducting the Hindu ritual - is also seen scolding the children for crying.
In Chittorgarh in Rajasthan (India), six marriages took place over two days.
One of the child brides, a five-year-old, is seen dressed in a her bridal dress and is forced to walk around the fire with her child groom, an 11-year-old.
She is crying loudly but a man forces her to complete the wedding ritual, which involves walking around the fire seven times.
Police are investigating the families seen in the footage, all of whom are on the run or in hiding, MailOnline reports.
A child rights activist, Kriti Bharti of the Saarth Trust, has stopped more than 850 child marriages.
She says that society will ‘never improve’ unless ‘strict action’ is taken against the families who force children to marry.
There, I fixed it
Not comparable, and you’re an apologist for child rape.
yeah, no. This is a little different.
And it’s not a funny topic.
Follow the money. Once the children are married, the girl’s family are off the hook for her maintenance, and they can pay the marriage settlement over the next decade or two. The boy’s family have a new household worker.
this person’s been on the liberal side of a few issues today.
Must have gotten lost on the way to KOS
Anything can be funny, if you’re funny.
Anything can be funny, if you’re funny.
you’re an idiot
Well said.
no, child rape isn’t funny.
And your sympathetic picture of a “refugee” on an earlier thread makes me think you’ve landed on FR by accident, and were aiming for KOS.
Leni
Looks like British rule ended far too soon.
No actually, it is a photo of the mind control that is being waged against the people of the EU- making them feel like they are inhuman if they don’t take in 50 gabillion muslims that happen to be soggy for the photoshoot, friend.
The key words in that statemrent are "...have to..."
The children are being forced.
The women you are citing in you photos are adults acting of their own free will.
They don't have to do anything.
the guy who posted that is a sick jerkoff.
In case he wasn’t clear what I though of him.
You were perfectly clear.
I was simply engaging the other flank.
