This is not a marriage but a violation of women's rights. Poor Ganga's parents looked helpless. But it is still disgusting, that they gave their daughter to an old man to save themselves from their debt. It is better to go hungry than sellling your daughters and sisters.
I have only these words to write on this marriage. This verse was written by Guru Nanak 500 years ago, when he saw the conditon of Indian women at that time.
Modesty and righteousness both have vanished
and falsehood moves about as the leader, O Lalo.
The function of the Qazis and the Brahmins is over
and the Satan now reads the marriage rites.
The Muslim women read the Quran
and in suffering call upon God, O Lalo.
The Hindu women of high caste
and of low caste, may also be put in the same account, O Lalo.
Adi Granth, P. 722
The stupid Pandit who did the rites is Satan only. What kind of Dharma is he following? And Poor Ganga will soon call upon God out of her suffering. Wait till she knows the real outcome of this satanic marriage!
