Child Marriage in India

December 2, 2014

After reading Giribala, I wondered if there would be any videos that show child marriage in India.

Luckily, I was able to find a few to share with you guys. They put me into a bit of deep thought.

    It is terrible how these social norms or mystifications are taking away people’s agency and subjectivity even before they have developed any. It is also ironic how these adults who have suffered from such misfortune when they were little are passing on the same misfortune to their children. The constrains from the society are so strong that they deprived people’s ability of thinking about alternatives and fighting back.

    It is devastating to see children deprived of their subjectivity at such a young age. I have been aware of these cases and cultures for quite some time now but never understood the rational behind arranged marriages and why this has been an everlasting trend in Indian culture.
