Child marriage is an age-old custom in India and is still practiced by a majority of people both in rural and urban Rajasthan.

童婚在印度是个古老的习俗，至今拉贾斯坦城市和农村的大部分人仍然沿袭这一习俗。

Even though it is illegal and despite efforts by women's rights organisation and NGOs, the devastating tradition continues.

尽管这是违法的，与妇女权利组织和非政府组织作出的努力相反，这一可怕的习俗仍然延续了下来。

Kriti Bharti, a child right activist who has stopped 124 child marriages and annulled seven, said fighting the custom involves a lot of risk.

儿童权利活动家，克里特•巴蒂阻止过124起童婚，取消过7起，声称和这一习俗抗争意味着许多风险。

She said: "Stopping child marriage is a challenge as parents change the venue the night before or postpone the wedding. By the time we reach the spot, children are already married off. We are trying every bit to educate people about the harms of an early marriage, but it will take a lot of time before this custom is stopped altogether in India."

她说：“阻止童婚是项挑战，因为父母们会在婚礼前夜转移场地或是推迟婚礼。当我们到达现场的时候，孩子们已经结婚了。我们竭尽全力教育人们早婚的危害，但是要完全在印度消除这一习俗需要很长时间。”
