Seema marriage barter

1.      Seema Gadri , kidnapepd by her dad in 2004 village:vijaipura’

When Seema’s mother could not fulfill her father’s dowry demand he forced her go away from his house and kept his daughter Seema. Seema’s mother returned to her parents and hear the seema’s father(kishanlaal) parades her at the back of his cycle advertises that he would marry her to whom-so-ever can offer her a bride. A 45 years old mand offered to marry her 14 year old daughter  to Kishanlaal in exchange of his teenage daughter Seema as a bride.

Hearing this new Seema’s mother got very tensed and worried made all attempts to locate her daughter and get her back.

When Seema’s uncles contacted Taraji for help she found that Seems was kept (kidnapped) in a neighbouring district Rajsamand. Its evern more difficult to work with a different district police but Taraji tried her best to persuade them to enter Kishanlaal’s house and rescue seema. Taraji met the police chief officer of that district stayed with the family to offer support and in the morning finally at 4:00 am police started searching for seems at kishnalaal’s palce. But she was still not found. Suddenly they found a weak hungry Seems come out of haystack. Interestingly  when seems heard about her father’s evil plans she hid herself under a haystack where animals are fed. She stayed there for 4 days without food and water and kept waiting for her mother to rescure her. When she finally realized that she is safe from her father..she came out and expressed the desire to go to her mother. This is how Seema was saved from a cruel unmatched barter of brides and marriage. She and her family is indebted to Taraji’s help in finding her.

We honor Seema for her intelligence, courage and timely wise plan to hide to save herself. It requires a lot of courage to think clearly in pressure and not succumb to it. She has impressed us all by her presence of mind , faith and determination in such a difficult situation. Today she stayed with her mother and mother’s brother, values education  and will soon graduate from 10^th standard.
