PYUTHAN, Jan 2: Ward 3 of Mallarani Rural Municipality was the first ward in Pyuthan district to declare itself as a child marriage-free zone. Last year, the locals declared the ward as child marriage-free last December. But the situation now has become just the opposite. The ward is on the top of the list of wards with the highest number of child marriages in the district.
