Laxmi, now affectionately called Internet Didi in her village, decided the wedding would have to be called off. She met the girl's family, told them child marriage was not permissible, told them about the health problems that brides suffer and finally, with all her pleas falling on deaf ears, told them that she would use WhatsApp to contact senior police officers sitting hundreds of miles away. "Abhi pyar se samajha rahe hain nahin to WhatsApp se police ko batayenge," she told the girl's parents. That did the trick. The wedding was called off.
