When she refused the father beat her. Then Achol decided to run away and went to Human Rights office and she was safe. She learn there while she finish her school and she came back to parents and asked for forgiveness and she was forgiven be her parents.
And I like to advice you people especially in our continent Africa, many tribes still following these traditional marriages. Where by a young child is marry by an old man that`s not good. You keep girl child right.
