“I will let her marry when she wants to. If she wants to stay alone and single, that is fine with me too. But that is too far. She has to start going to school first.

Women cannot just rely on empowerment programs by NGOs. What is the worth if they come back home to then continue with only the kitchen and the dirty dishes.”
