Seven-yr-old faces dowry charges
Sameer Kumar, Abhay Mohan Jha reported for NDTV on Saturday, May 26, 2007 from (Begusarai, Bihar)
A seven-year-old has been charged in a dowry case in Bihar. Santosh, a class four student has paid the price for a crime he did not commit.
My comment: The age for being enrolled in primary school is six years, a student in class four will be at least 12 years, the usual age when rural Biharis start scouting around for child-brides. Either the child's age has been erroneously reported, or here's a genius that passed Class one at age four!
