The annulment is reportedly a first for child marriages, as activists work to challenge unions of this type. Sargara is quoted by AFP as stating after obtaining the annulment, “I was unhappy about the marriage. I told my parents who did not agree with me, then I sought help… Now I am mentally relaxed and my family members are also with me.”
