They did not connect with the caller to ensure her anonymity was protected for her safety, so the proof of age was obtained from the school. Jaanvi, it turned out was 15 years old and indeed set to be married within a week. Indian law forbids marriage for girls below the age of 18, so with the school-verified proof of age, Sabuj Sandha went to the village Panchayat (leader) and government Development Officer to get their support in approaching the parents and educating them. Fortunately, both the Panchayat and Development Officer agreed to go accompany the visit to Jaanvi\u2019s parents.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95f158c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"95f158c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sabuj Sangha was able to educate the parents the Indian legal restrictions protecting girls from child marriage, as well as the dangers to the health, education and long term wellness of girls who get married too early. With the support of the Panchayat and Development Officer, they were able to convince Jaanvi\u2019s parents that marriage was not the right choice for their daughter and get their written agreement that they will not get her married, but keep her in school until completion.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75075017 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"75075017\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Jaanvi will head back to school when it reopens after summer holidays on June 12th, and has the commitment of her parents as well as local leadership that she will stay there until she graduates.
