She got married when she was seven years old. In some small towns, parents decide on arranged marriages. I asked Kaniz’s mother why she decided for her daughter to get married so soon. She said she also got married when she was seven. Kaniz's mother gave birth to 25 children. Only five of them lived on. The reason for having so many children was because they wanted to have a boy. Kaniz's mother has a son now, but he is disabled. When he was only 6 months old, he got a mistaken injection that made him disabled. I am sorry my story has a sad beginning; in fact this is not a story, it is real.
