Question
When did she leave home for Delhi, and why?
✓
Answer
When Santosh turned sixteen she was under pressure from her parents to get married as most of the girls in her village were married off at that age.
A marriage that early was the last thing on Santosh’s mind so she threatened her parents that she would never marry if she did not get a proper education.
She left home and got herself enrolled in a school in Delhi.
