A minor girl can marry .... some joke this!!
by Vikas Khandekar on Oct 08, 2005 01:19 PM

Anything can happen in India!! Infant mortality and famale infanticide notwithstanding, dowry deaths not withstanding, rape notwithstanding ... and now this. Doesn't the law understand that it is easy for the vultures in the society to get "willingness" out of a fifteen year old girl? I shudder to think the implications of this onto the girl-selling scams in which the innocent girls from poor families in Hyderabad and nearby ciries are sold off to Arabs!! The conniving middle-men and the irresponsible parents would obviously go scot free in such cases. How tragic!!
