Poverty is the main reason behind early marriages in rural areas as most families have large family sizes. With such families, most parents are unable or unwilling to take care of their children. Others, who cannot feed or send their children to school, give young girls off marriage to older men. Those families cannot afford wedding. UP Trust tries to support the girl and her family by bearing the expenses of the wedding and demolish dowry.
We believe that no girl should be treated as a burden just due to her marriage expenses.
