Two persons arrested in Madhya Pradesh village for child marriage

Two persons were today arrested in connection with a child marriage even as the district administration managed to prevent six such weddings from being solemnised, police said.
    
The duo identified as Hatesingh and Ramchandra of Solsinda village under Sanver tehsil was arrested for allegedly getting their minors (below 18 years) married.
     
Hatesingh's daughter was married last night to Ramchandra's son despite both being minors, police said.
     
Meanwhile, the Women and Child Development Department' special squad prevented six child marriages from being solemnised at village Hansakhedi.
     
These marriages were scheduled to take place during a mass-marriage function but the squad intervened in time. The organisers were let-off with a stern warning.
