Married at a young ageAt the age of nine or ten, she was married off to a 35-year-old man. She also became pregnant at a very young age. She says that her in-laws had thrown her out of the house for raising her voice against injustice. The family members also refused to keep them. Sindhutai took stumbling blocks and gave birth to her baby girl alone.First pregnancy, then the appetite of the newborn.
