Snehalaya intervened in a child marriage on 5/5/05. An unknown call informed Snehalaya that the child marriage was happening there in Sanjay nagar slum at 1.30 pm.
The Co-ordinator and two team members rushed to the place. We tried to convince parents of bride Rupali ( name changed ) and groom Baban, but in vein. Guests present for the program became violent and started to curse. The whole circumstance was very explosive.
