In India, sport is giving some young women a way out of child marriage and allowing them to be seen.
Officially, the practice of child marriage is illegal in the country. But UNICEF estimates that over 200 million girls and women in India have been married before they turned 18.
BBC journalist Divya Arya reports on how sport is helping some young women to break free from the bonds of early marriage and to forge an identity for themselves.
