Gandhi and early marriage.

If I claim to be a wor-shipper of truth. It is my painful duty to have to record here my marriage at the age of thirteen.As I see youngsters of the same age about me who are under my care, and think of my own marriage. I am inclined to pity myself and to congratulate them on having escaped my lot. I can no moral argument in support of such a preposterously early marriage.
