Sahadeb Mishtry: Unequal Start

Nineteen-year-old Sahadeb Mishtry is determined to reverse the trend of marrying girls early. “People in our community marry of their daughters at a young age before they are ready to shoulder the burden of homes and children. They are not educated and are helpless if the marriage breaks down or there is a calamity of some sort. This disturbs me immensely and I am keen to help in any way to stop this.”
