Sixteen year old Chhabiya Kumari had hardly completed her 8^th grade that her parents began talk of her marriage. Shy but assertive Chhabiya clearly refused to get married. She said “I am still a child. How can you marry me?” She paused for a while then said “I have learnt the ill effects of child marriage during workshops and meeting of Kishori Club. If it hadn’t Kishori club I would have married by now.” Though, her neighbours are more worried about Chhabiya than her own parents. One of the neighbours said “It was good if Chhabiya got married last year only, how her parents will manage to marry both of their daughters at the same time? We are poor people we can’t afford to marry two daughters at the same time”. Chhabiya’s younger sister is hardly twelve year old. Unwavering with all these talks Chhabiya lives her childhood playing kabaddi and hope to rejoin school from 9^th grade which she had to discontinue as high school is far from her village.
