当地摄影记者尚卡尔普里发现并且也参加了婚礼。但是他什么都不能做,因为他害怕一旦被众多家人发现,他就自身难保了。
Shankar said: I was tipped off about the weddings that very morning. I informed the police immediately and then I rushed to the venue. When I arrived it looked like a village fair. Hordes of men and women in their best clothes had gathered to witness the marriages of innocent children. They were singing songs and celebrating and laughing and giggling. It was really disheartening. They had no idea that what they were doing was so wrong.
尚卡尔说:我那天早上很早就得到了婚礼的消息。我立刻通知了警察,然后赶往现场。我到那里的时候,那儿看起来像是个乡村集市。成群结队的男人和女人,穿着他们最好的衣服,亲眼见证那些无辜海通的婚礼。他们唱着歌来庆祝,笑个不停。场面令人十分沮丧。他们不知道他们做的事是犯了大错。
Shankar said local police arrived but were unable to do anything to stop the weddings.
尚卡尔说到场的警察也没法停止婚礼的进行。
He added: The police couldn t do anything as they were outnumbered by the relatives. If they had done anything the villagers would ve beaten them. Even the law of the land didn t have enough power to stop these child marriages taking place.
