"Child bride
I am 11 year old girlHappily playing hopscotch with friend outside my house
Observing curiously visitors entering my house
Called inside to serve drinks
Did so and thought no further
4th day I was dressed up like a bride and found no answers to my questions
Sat next to a boy in a pandal
Watched him tie a thread around my neck
Told to bow to all elders
Asked mother...
Can I go and play now?"
