JODHPUR: A girl's decision to annul
her marriage which was solemnised
in her infancy has invited the wrath
of the village panchayat which has
slapped a hefty fine of Rs 16 lakh
and banished the family from the
community.
Santadevi Meghwal, belonging to
Rohichan Khurd village in Luni tehsil
here, decided to call off her
marriage which was finalised when
she was 11-month-old.
