"Ab iski shaadi ki Umar ho gyi h, Aur abb yeh padhi - likhi bhi achi khasi hai
Nhi karni chahiye ab deri. 13 saal par hi hogyi thi meri toh. 35 saal se aadmi se, wo bhi,"

her grandma told her father.

(Now that she is sufficiently educated, she should  get married.
We should avoid being late since that will lead to problems later.
I also got  married a 35-year-old man when I was 13 years old.)

Dekh te h, chalo. "
