Nargis Akhter, now aged 19, was pulled our of school and wed when she was 12 years old as her family was afraid that she might become a victim of severe 'eve-teasing'. Sad to leave school, she recalls being 'terrified, sad and uncertain' on the day of her marriage. Being married off at such a young age 'is not good for health,' she says. Her first baby died soon after birth and she is now raising her 2nd child, who is seven months old.
