Initial "Call for Action" at IndiaCause
-------------------
National Commission for Women start probe of Kanchan Marriage
Bihar Times (December 16, 2002)

A sustained campaign by different organisaions have finally forced National Commission For Women (NCW) to take cognizance of forcible marriage of Kanchan Mishra with a notorious criminal, Sultan Mian, in Patna. A five-member team in the leadership of Purnima Advani chairperson of the commission arrived here today and tried their best to know about the incident from different sources.

The younger brother and the mother of the victim came to meet the team and denied in front of the media that it was a forcible marriage. Some media persons who earlier met them told Bihar Times that they were so terrorised and can't muster enough courage to tell the real story. The local police has taken its typical old fashioned line that they are unable to act in absence of any formal complaint lodged with any police station.

While local sources describing this incident said the victim who was working in a beauty parlour was forcibly lifted from her Mainpura residence in broad day light and taken to a local mosque for nikah ceremony. After nikah a lavish reception party was organised at the residence of RJD's state minister Ejazul Haq. And much to the surprise the officer incharge of local police station was also present in the party. Initially her family members asked for help from local police but no one came to their help because don is close to RJD MP Shahabuddin and some other political leaders. Despite media coverage no one in police bothered to locate Kanchan Mishra. Where are state women commission, women activists, state women cell of police. No one came to her rescue though some of them have taken it lightly as this was her third marriage--- Does any lady loose her dignity of being human after failure of her first or second marriage??
