  • Summary

  • Rubby Singh, the daughter of a child bride in India, shares her family's harrowing experiences and the broader impact of child marriage in the region. India has one of the highest rates of child marriage in the world, with an estimated 27% of girls married before the age of 18. Rubby's mother was forced into marriage at just 13, a fate shared by millions of young girls each year. Rubby discusses how this practice perpetuates cycles of poverty, limits educational opportunities, and contributes to health risks for young mothers. Her story highlights the urgent need for stronger legal enforcement and community education to protect vulnerable girls.
