A young girl was tied in the knots of a HOLY SIN.
Who looks happy from outside having grief within.

She was struggling with her life & was just hit by puberty.
Her parents had to do this unwillingly as they're struck by poverty.

But they didn't know that their girl was better than a boy.
She could've pulled them out of poverty if they would've kept her with joy.

She should be given a chance to grow and flourish.
But now, at the age of her own growth she may have a child to nourish.

We'll say we're living in 21st century and we're MODERN.
But actually we've never developed enough and are still downtrodden.

We must stop this ill-practice in our society.
Every child has a right to live his/her life given by the almighty.
Although we will say we're living in a modern world, still in some parts of our country child marriage has not stopped.
