My cousin was only 13 years old and used to read in class 5, when my grandfather arranged her marriage despite her parents’ disapproval as he was the head of the family. Even he did not bother my mother’s objection in this matter. Seeing no other option I called 109 who then linked me with Muktagacha Police station. Later at 2am I along with the police were able to call off this marriage.
