In a landmark decision, a family court in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, annulled the child marriage of Seema, who was married at the age of 9 in December 2015. Now 20 years old and a first-year Bachelor of Arts student, Seema expressed her joy, stating, “I am free now” and is eager to shape her own future. The annulment was facilitated by Dr. Kriti Bharti, a rehabilitation psychologist and child rights advocate, who has been instrumental in supporting Seema's fight against child marriage. During the court proceedings, Seema's 'husband' denied the marriage took place, but the petitioners presented credible documentary evidence that led the judge, Varun Talwar, to rule in favor of annulment. The court highlighted the necessity for a change in societal attitudes to eliminate the practice of child marriage. Dr. Bharti remarked that this ruling is a victory for truth and called for educated individuals to oppose child marriage, emphasizing ongoing efforts for Seema's rehabilitation. To date, Dr. Bharti has helped annul 55 child marriages, showcasing her commitment to this critical issue.
