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."

他补充说：“警察什么都做不了，因为亲戚们的人数比他们要多得多。如果他们做出点什么，村民可能会打他们。甚至当地法律也不足以阻止童婚的发生。”
