On 9 July 2016 Inter Press Service reported:
Four years ago, Farzana Aktar Ruma, now 18, was almost married off without her consent. Her parents had settled on someone they considered a reasonably wealthy young man with a good family background, and did not want to miss the opportunity to wed their eldest daughter. Farzana was only 14 years old and did not want to get married, but she didn't know where to turn. Then Selina Aktar, who lives nearby, offered to help. Aktar is the facilitator of a seven-member Community Legal Services (CLS) organization that advises students, parents, and others on legal rights, including rights of adolescents. 'After several hours of discussions, we were able to convince Farzana's parents that an educated girl was more precious than a girl thought to be a burden for her family at her early age,' Aktar said.
