♠️Child Marriage♠️
Written by thelatentwriter
घर घर खेलते
कब ना जाने हम इतने बड़े हो गए
की जिस बचपन को अभी पकड़ना भी ना सीखा था
उसी बचपन से हमारे हाथ छुट गए।
नाजुक कलाइयों मे जब
माँ ने सुंदर चूड़ियाँ पहनायी
तब बताया ही नही की बेटी
यह रंगीन बेड़ियाँ हैं, वह तो सीधा कैद ले आई।
कब रोटी पकाती माँ के साथ
बैठते बैठते
खुद ही रोटी पकाने लग गए
पता ही नही चला।
कब पुस्तक मे रंग भरने वाले
वाले हाथो से
खुद की मांग भरने लगे
पता ही नही चला।
माँ के ऊपर निर्भर
रहने वाली लड़की ने
कब एक घर की जिमेदारी उठा ली
पता ही न चला।
उस दिन 12 की थी
आज 16 की हूँ
उस दिन एक बचपन को मार डाल था
आज एक को जन्म देने मे खुद को मार रह ह।
🌿 SOME FACTS TO KNOW 🌿
Child Marriage
Another one of the many curses our society is gifted with. Even though a law was passed in 1929 by Harbilas Sarda which was updated again in 2006 it is still a living evil.
India isn't the only country fighting against this evil but still even after laws and punishments, India alone accounts for one-third of the global total.
Child marriage violates children's right and place them at high risk of violence, exploitation and abuse. While both boys and girls get the pressure, child brides are also more likely to experience domestic violence because young girls who are married off are more likely to have children while still physically immature, they are at higher risk of dying due to pregnancy and childbirth complications, and their babies have a reduced chance of survival too, according to the World Health Organization.
By robbing girls of a chance to learn, grow, and fully realize their potential, child marriage systematically disempowers them. It ensures that they remain dependent on others all their lives, strips them of their agency, makes them vulnerable to abuse, and can trap them in a cycle of poverty.
Any country's progress or regress depends on its citizens and I truly believe we, the youth of this developing nation can take our country towards progress by fighting our social evils in anyway we can. I understand people around you may not be the one getting married at 12 or 14 but look around at lower middle class people, labourers, maids, cooks and try to make sure they aren't pushing their daughters down the pit we call 'Child Marriage'.
