Religion cannot be the legal basis


Cruel practice: Imagine the lost childhood and potential life opportunities snatched from that child with child marriage to grow as full human beings.

A widow should not have to die in a fire with the dead husband. And under no circumstances whatsoever shall a child be married off to a man.
