Minor Girl's Family Seeks Justice Over Pregnancy in Kankipadu

This news is about a teenage girl who became pregnant.

The girl and the boy involved are both 17 years old.

They live in a small village called Manthena in Kankipadu.

When the girl's mother found out, she talked to the boy's family.

Community elders helped, and the boy's family agreed to a wedding later.

But they asked for a big payment called dowry.

The girl's mother, who earns the money for the whole family, paid part of it.

Police then took the boy into custody.

The girl became sick with anaemia and needed a blood transfusion.

The boy's family later changed their mind and wanted a DNA test, so the girl's mother is asking authorities for justice.
