The marriage of minors or underage is growing rapidly on these days. Because of poverty or any other lack of substantial matters, people marry their children, they are girls of age between seven, eight or up to twelve or thirteen. If you go to refugee camps, the matter is bigger than you can imagine. For the lack of food, shelter or education, people marry their girls. Some of these girls do not know what marriage is. Greedy ones are taking the advantage of the situations. Those who are rich offer their money for a nine-year-old girl. To add more petrol to the fire, there are some people who arrange these marriages, taking the need of the family and the demand of the other side who wants to satisfy his desire.
Is it because of poverty, the absence of conscience or the wars?
Is there any remedy for this matter?

Kai sei hain? My Gugrati is not that good, I hope I learn some more from. My friend, engineer Dileep Ram Chandra taught me how to speak some Gugrati. Lack of conscience could be the main reason, I am not sure about other reasons, but if there is no conscience to prevent you from hurting people or do them bad things, in my opinion, the other reasons can come respectively or as in second grade after the conscience. Because it's important to us what is morally right. Poverty (wow), it could also be another factor. Education as you mentioned, is essential. Thanks Tushar for the nice intervention!

Dara, every judgement a person makes depends upon the situation around him. Observing some communities, I would blame two things--Strange Tradition (again?!) and lack of conscience. In some communities, there is a tradition of marrying boys and girls even in their childhood. If not done so, the daughter would not get a great family and a greater bridegroom for her. This is the social fever of the elders. But when parents marry their daughters for money even to old men, then it is evidently the lack of conscience. Poverty is a condition, mismatch (for money) is a man-made disaster. This must stop. Only laws cannot do. Along with laws, social awakening and financial help to needy families are essential. Thanks Dara.
Much obliged Williams! Your comment is more than meaningful to us, too. Look at that old man to marry a young girl. Maybe, she is younger than his granddaughter. Those were only examples, but in reality, we will find more strange and criminal behavior than that. What does a fifteen-year-old girl do with an old man like that? He certainly could not satisfy her. Thanks Willie!

Bahut shukriya Ali! We will also pray for them. Do you know that some of them used to have a building of more than three floors, and they had factories and businesses? In a short time, those people found themselves without homes or any shelter. Their bed is the ground and their cover is the sky. We pray for them, my dear good friend, Ali. Can I be one of your friends? Thanks
we should pray for all refugee....

bahut acha hain Rahul Wazir, lakin kioyn? Vivet mahatvapoorn hain. I could have gone with all the previous points you had mentioned there, but the conscience is very important here. alive conscience will never order or insinuate such evil matters. On the contrary, it will prohibit and prevent from such disgusting, brutal and inhuman act. I noticed that Mr. Mishaikh referred to such regulations for countries that do not have such laws. To be honest with you, Rahul, the marriage of minors is a rare case here. It's always born in private circumstances, like wars, refugee camps, absolute poverty and so on. Thanks for your analyzing comment!

Pata nahi Mishaikh. These guys are fishing in troubled waters. They are just after themselves. I guess they have no value for themselves either. For those, I mean the criminals, they have no mercy on their hearts at all, and they do not know what is the meaning of humanity. They want to satisfy their desires, that's all. Thanks, Mishaikh for useful ideas and comments! I really appreciate that. Thank you!

The buyers are the prime criminal. The sellers are under circumstantial pressure. They, however, be educated and be provided with at least their basic needs. The buyers of the girls, instead of buying, why don't they help these families. They can adopt these children legally.
