Died in great agony after three days. K. Aged about 10. Condition most pitiable. After one day in hospital was demanded by her husband for his “lawful” use, he said. L. Aged 11.

Has never been able to stand erect since her marriage. N. Aged 9. Dislocation of _pubic arch_, and unable to stand, or to put one foot before the other. In view of the above facts, the undersigned lady doctors and medical practitioners appeal to your Excellency’s compassion to enact or introduce a measure by which the consummation of marriage will not be permitted before the wife has attained the full age of fourteen (14) years. The undersigned venture to trust that the terrible urgency of the matter will be accepted as an excuse for this interruption of your Excellency’s time and attention. (Signed by 55 lady-physicians.) The memorial as above was initiated by Mrs. Monelle Mansell, M.A., M.D., who has been in practice in India for seventeen years, and it received the signature of every other lady doctor there. The cases of abuse above specified are “only a few out of many hundreds—of cruel wrongs, deaths, and maimings for life received by helpless child-wives at the hands of brutal husbands, which have come under Dr. Monelle Mansell’s personal observation, or that of her associates.”
