During the lockdown, Shweta's mother quietly got her married to her maternal uncle ( Shweta's mother's brother). He was a 40 year old man. He was also handicapped. Jyotiamma finished her tale. She got her niece counseled by Dr.Keerthi in VMM through tele-counseling. Dr.Keerthi asked for her mother's number and the counselor spoke to her mother, but her mother was such a liar that she denied the truth. She said Shweta's not married. So the Counselor and Dr.Keerthi approached the Village Level Panchayat President and gathered Village Volunteers and Anganwadi teachers and spoke to them about Shweta's case.
