A distressing incident unfolded in Daddag village of Ormanjhi, Ranchi, where a tribal family fell victim to societal oppression. The community enforced a forced marriage of a minor, imposing financial penalties of Rs 25,000 each on both parties. Additionally, a Rs 1,000 fine was levied, and the impoverished family faced a ban on accessing water from government wells and hand pumps for non-payment. The situation came to light when the victimized family sought justice at the police station, revealing the extent of discrimination and hardships they endured.
The victim's family, desperate for justice, reached the police station, disclosing the societal atrocities they endured. The police intervention resulted in an agreement between the parties, ensuring that the girl, confirmed as an adult by Aadhar card, would face no further harassment. The resolution also guarantees an end to the ban on accessing water and financial penalties for the victimized family.
