Any Real Life Balika Vadhu's

hey guys,
i was wondering if any of u know any real life Balika Vadhus

i know one....she lives near our house in india n is in her 60s now.
she got married when she was just 12 and has 6 kids now!
She had to miss out studies and had to pick up household chores quickly but luckily for her she didnt have a strict dadisa in her life...she said she had to adjust to life fast though coz she did have a rather strict father in law...shes a great person n all n a big fan of BV

so do u guys know any real life Balika vadhus...plz do share

shona.

Yes, I knew one.. she is no more.. i know about her that she had her first child at the age of 13 and ended up having 13😲.... but 3-4 didnt survive much and the rest grown up and have grand children and all... dont know at which age she got married..

My grandmother was married when she was 9. They still have this custom in in UP, Bihar, MP and Rajasthan villages, but most of them try to postpone Gauna until the girl is 13 or above. My Bhabhi lives in Varanasi and her maid's daughter was married off when she was 10 yrs old. Now she is 13 and helps her mom. They have not decided on her guana yet because she is big help to mother and they can work in more homes together and make more money. But they need to do it soon as mom is being pressurized from daughter's in-laws... Sure they need help too...😡

Poor girls..dont get to go to school and will have to work for their entire life...😭

my granny was a real life BV who married at 16. but she had supportive in-laws. my maid got all her daughters married by 13. all of them are moms. actually to give credit to my maid she did send her daughters and sons to school. but none of them was interested. obviously there was too much distraction and lack of encouragement from their peers. my maid and her husband were not educated enough to guide them. my maid being a poor woman didnt want to waste money on something which wouldnt give her results. one of her daughter did manage to complete her school after marriage! so things are changing and even uneducated and poor ppl are not so conservative now.
btw there was a survey conducted sometime back and it was found that 50% of adult women were married off before 18. check this link:

In my home itself i have one, it's my maternal grandmother, who was married off at the age of 9 and sent to her in-laws place at the age of 11 and had her first child at 13. But later on she made sure that her daughters get the education and got married after 18.

yes movies and shows have known to change the society's perspective. thats why there is so much censorship on movies/tv content. but BV though claims to make a statement against child marriage ends up promoting it thru the happenings in the show. so how will it discourage child marriage when the real motive entertainment resulting in trps and resulting in money...

Hey nice topic,

My grandmother got married at 14. It was not until she was 17 that she went to her in-laws. My great-grandfather let her finish 10th, which was a huge deal back then. She would speak in English to all her grandkids, which my friends thought was real cool 😆

yup my maternal grandma married wen she was 11 n lived wid my grandpa who was 16 since then...my grandpas family was very rich n thy r still.....he xpired 6 yrs bac k n my grandma still recollects the wonderful times thy have spent 2gther...bt my grandma had a very strict motherinlaw jus like dadisa who wud always taunt, insult n wasnt happy wid her ..she always kept on comparing my grandma wid her jethani(his elder brothers wife) nkept on insisting my grandpa 2 have a sec marraige....my mom was the 1st child ..even after my mom was born.....my moms grandma created problems between my grandparents...so in a way wen i watch BV i relate 2 the stry cos its somehow related 2 my moms family...my mom still cries while narrating how torturous her grandma was wid her n wid her mom
