In Vadia village of Banaskantha, Gujarat, a change has occurred: to protect daughters from the sex trade, they are engaged at the age of 7 and married at 18.

First, read an anecdote... A 19-year-old girl from Wadia village had both her mother and grandmother involved in prostitution. She is studying to become a nurse at a college far away. She is married, but the groom was chosen for her when she was just 11 years old. On condition of anonymity, she revealed, "I saw that my father and uncle used to bring clients for my mother and grandmother. When they were no longer in a position to do so, this practice stopped."
