A 13-year-old girl in India has written a letter begging her headteacher to save her from becoming a child bride.
The pupil, named as Duli Hembrom by Indian media, reportedly failed to convince her parents against the match and turned to her school.
She said the wedding, set for tomorrow in Jamshedpur, could stop her completing her education at Milan Mithi Uchha Vidyalaya.

“I took an oath at the time of admission that I will not get married before I turn 18. I do not wish to get married early,” Duli wrote. Full story...
