Punjab Government Stops 58 Child Marriages in 15 Months

Imagine a state where some kids were being forced to get married before they were old enough.

The government in Punjab, India, is working hard to stop this from happening.

They've stopped 58 child marriages in a little over a year!

They have a special phone number, like a secret line, where anyone can report if they see a child marriage happening.

They're also teaching people about why child marriage is bad, especially during wedding times.

The government believes that childhood is for learning and growing, not getting married.

They want to make sure every child has a safe and happy future.
