The school was abuzz today with news that one of our
students got married yesterday. The girl is only 14 and in the 10th
grade and has married a man in the village. I couldn’t figure out how old the
husband is, but as he is not a student in our school I’m guessing he must be
older than 18. Apparently there used to be a law that once women were married,
they could no longer attend public school, but even now that the law has been
changed, many girls still don’t go to school once they get married. I’m not
sure what this girl will do, but the teachers were quite upset all day that she
could have run off and done something so stupid.
