On May 23, 2013, Chhota Devi from Rajasthan was married off when she was just 14-year-old. She faced threats from her husband and in-laws, was terrorised by caste-panchayat and was thrown out of the house by her parents. She also had to drop out of college following a scare. Image
Eventually, Devi learned to work at a ticket counter of a cinema hall. Almost eight years later, a local court in Jodhpur last week finally nullified her child marriage with Mahendra Sihag.
According to Devi, now 21, Sihag is 'a good for nothing drunkard'. Devi said she does not know Sihag's exact age but recalls that he was around 23 back in 2013.
