A few days after her parents gave her a deadline to move in with her in-laws, 18 year old Laxmi reached out to social worker in India who advocates for children's right, asking for help. The social worker contacted Laxmi's husband, who agreed to an annulment.
It is the first example we know of a couple wed in childhood wanting the marriage to be annulled, and we hope that others take inspiration from it," Kriti Bharti, the social worker who orchestrated the annulment, told AFP.

Dis is a gal dat sense and I'm sure she isn't an illiterate. Its abt time dey stop robbing dis children of their innocence.
at least our generation are getting wiser...99 twist
Haba! Her parents did not send her to her in-laws till she was 18years. If she no gree, na divorce or annulment. No molestation here cos she don reach 18 yrs.
Una dey read story before commenting?
so loving this girl,happy at the step they took. its high time our Nothern counterparts take do same.
They call it marriage , I call it SLAVERY ...
Good for both of them. These people need to grow up and stop forcing their kids to live with partners they didn't choose themselves. I hope the others will take a cue from them.
first anon .... learn to read. it is not Pedophillic Molestation. the marriage was contracted when they were children but not consummated. She is 18 years old and she was just told to move to his house.
So stupid! How can u marry a one and 3yr old and expect them to stay in that "marriage" when they are older! Sick people! Poverty and illiteracy causes a lot

Do you know sun exposure accelerates the skin’s aging process, which contributes to an increase in wrinkles and moles. It also increases one’s risk of developing skin cancers. Get the best sunblock SPF 100 around at www.thestunninglady.blogspot.com
