A heartbreaking story took place in Bangalore, India during March.

A young girl was married, at her father’s insistence, on her 18th birthday to a man in their community. She had had a good education through the Divya Shanthi Christian Association in Bangalore. ‘Sporty’, she had won many championships at state level. It was hoped she could compete at national level. She was enrolled in a pre-university college with a scholarship.

Her future looked very bright. Her education in a Christian school had taught her to think for herself. At this mixed school she had been able to get on with boys on equal terms.
