In a groundbreaking achievement for child rights and social justice, Dr. Kriti Bharti, renowned Rehabilitation Psychologist and Managing Trustee of Saarthi Trust, has created a record-setting hattrick by securing the annulment of three child marriages on three consecutive Akshay Tritiya festivals — a day traditionally associated with the solemnization of child marriages in India.
Defying deep-rooted societal norms, Dr. Kriti began her mission in 2015, when through intensive counseling and legal intervention, she successfully annulled two child marriages in Jodhpur Family Court. She continued her crusade in 2016, winning another annulment case involving a couple from Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan. In 2017, she achieved her third annulment victory in Ajmer Court, completing a rare and symbolic hat-trick of child marriage annulments on Akshay Tritiya.
This historic achievement not only highlights the power of persistence and legal advocacy but also challenges the misuse of tradition to perpetuate injustice against children. Dr. Kriti Bharti’s relentless efforts have empowered victims to reclaim their lives and futures, earning her national recognition.
Genius Foundation & World Records of India feel immensely proud and privileged to present a Certificate of Recognition to Dr. Kriti Bharti and Saarthi Trust for their outstanding, dedicated, and revolutionary work in protecting child rights and eliminating the menace of child marriage from Indian society.
Her success stands as a beacon of hope and a call to action for communities and policymakers to safeguard the childhood and dignity of every child.
