                In this modern world, when such type of circumstances come before us, we need to develop broader view and  we need to respect the choice of everybody and we should give liberty to everyone of their own choice. The choice of every girl must be respected by everyone we should keep castism , religiousness aside and look forward to Humanity.

               Humanity is the biggest religion that we should always remember and respect all religion.
