The doctor told the story of the birth that became a tragedy because of child marriage
Recently, the government of Terengganu state (Malaysia) confirmed that the state is preparing to enact a law that will allow teenagers (and those who have not yet reached the age of majority) to marry. Although this bill has not been officially promulgated, it has caused a lot of controversy in public opinion, some sympathizers and opponents strongly disagree, but perhaps the “victims” are still immature girls who have to learn how to be wives. , motherhood.
One of the opponents of this bill is Dr. Daya Nandan. He did not give any arguments or opinions, but simply told a story he had experienced himself for everyone to think about.
Illustration.
On March 25 recently, doctor Daya Nandan posted a status line on his personal Facebook page to tell about the night he delivered a baby to a pregnant woman. It is worth mentioning that the woman was just… 11 years old.
He wrote: “They took her to the hospital in the middle of the night. I was not shocked by the scene but disappointed and…”
Daya was shocked to learn that the woman in need of an emergency was only an 11-year-old girl. He knew that the birth would be complicated, so he asked the accompanying person, who he thought was the patient’s sister, to call the baby’s mother immediately. Unexpectedly, another surprise came when the woman in her early 20s announced that she was the biological mother of the pregnant woman. The husband of the mother, the father of the child, was nowhere to be found.

During the emergency, Dr. Daya did what was necessary to prepare for the worst. He wrote: “I wonder what complications I will face tonight? Pre-eclampsia? Postpartum haemorrhage? Can we save both of them?”.
The young woman was immediately taken to the operating room. Unfortunately, the little girl did not make it. Just a few hours later, the infant also died. 2 souls who had not even reached adulthood left the world on that sad night.
“This isn’t the first time something like this has happened and it certainly won’t be the last.”Dr. Daya expressed.
Later, Dr. Daya revealed that the incident took place in Indonesia many years ago, when he was still a trainee. Through his post, he wants to warn the world about how dangerous child marriage can be. It not only robs girls of their childhood, but also leaves them with pain and trauma both physically and mentally.
“It’s easy to support baseless decisions, but when lives are taken from the world because of those ideas, are supporters responsible?”I said.
Dr. Daya’s post has attracted the attention of many netizens and the debate about child marriage in some regions has become more and more heated.
Not being able to save a patient’s life is actually one of the worst nightmares of being a doctor. Dr Daya hopes the authorities will end the “death penalty” for children by banning child marriage. Because he asserted: “They deserve better!”
