‘Because … like Radha, I will wait forever for my beloved to find me.’
I am 18. When I was 12, I was married off to a man who was lazy and refused to work. I couldn’t stand the situation, so I went to live with my aunt. I waited every day for my parents to come and take me home. I was so sad, and I thought of returning to my husband. My aunt’s neighbour was a kind man, and listened to my problems. He said he’d take me to my husband, but he sold me to a brothel. I can’t talk about that life. I’m just waiting my parents to find me and take me home.
