The presence of mind of a would-be-victim of child marriage resulted in a child marriage being prevented today at the Bhoiwada locality by the members of the Women and Child Development committee.

At a public conference initiated by Laad Kumari Jain, President of the State Women Commission on 22^nd April, the Commission members heard the woes of the female participants and discussed a lot of matters with them.  It was during this meeting that a 17 year old girl, a student of class XI at the Gyan Mandir School in Hiran Magri, gave a letter to the President Laad Kumari, stating that she was being forced to marry.  The marriage was scheduled today at Bhoiwada.

Accordingly today morning, the members of the Women and Child Development committee, which included Shweta Padgedia, Assistant Director and Rajeev Singh, Officer, along with SDM Udaipur and CI of Dhanmandi Police Station, Rajesh Sharma crashed into the wedding ceremony.

The wedding was immediately stopped and the father of the girl, Murlidhar Bhoi, resident of Bhoiwada along with his family members and others present at the wedding were warned of strict action if the incident was repeated or any other such event took place.
