One morning in October 2020, two of our CVC members sariful Bibi and Ajmuda Bibi informed our project staff that the father of a 17 year old girl named Asheka Khatoon, living in Shehardaha village under Diamond Harbour Police Station, of South 24 Parganas was forcefully organizing the marriage of his daughter. Immediately, after knowing this, our Project staff along with two CVC members went to the village and met Asheka’s father.
They met Asheka’s father in the village. The team had a prolonged discussion with the father. Meanwhile the panchayat representative from Shehradaha Village also joined the discussion. After almost 2 hours of discussion, when the father was still reluctant to stop the marriage, the visiting team threatened to inform the police, the district Child Line to take action as per law to stop the marriage. At this point, Asheka’s father gradually softened his stand and stopped the marriage from taking place.
