Girl faces threat for refusing childhood marriage

A girl who had refused to accept her childhood marriage with a local youth has been accorded police protection following threats from the groom’s family.

Rekha Choudhary, 20, a resident of Boyal village of the district, had been continuously receiving threats from her

in-laws since August last year, who had allegedly warned her of moving to the community panchayat seeking the

family’s social boycott if she remained firm on her decision.
