Child Marriage!.

Child Marriage is a huge problem in Bihar, India.! Child Marriage is a very common thing in Bihar, India. Grade school girls are pressure to get married at such a young age.
Kalawati Kumari Is Only 19 and her mom and dad planned her wedding when she was only 11, And after her body cycle she had to move in with her husband and have a child. Her Mom got married at the age of 10! and had her 1st of 7 kids at the age of 15! Its a Tradition families in Bihar girls are always getting married at a very young age. it is current thing. An organization that is trying to help is Path Finder International.Most girls don't even get to go to school they have to have a family and kids. Also most girls dont get to choose if they go to school. one girl had to beg her mom and dad not to get married so soon now she is teaching 20 kid and only getting 10 bucks a month.
