On May 6, 2012, Ma Cho, the mother of Ma Hla Hla Htwe (15) a 9th grader, residing in Thathon town came to PVA office, by claiming that her daughter had eloped with Maung Ye Aung (16) a 9th grader, and ask for help. According to her, her daughter, who went to see the result of her 9th grade final exam at the school on April 24, was illegally taken to Mae Sot by Maung Ye Aung aka Yahmu. PVA found out that the teenage couple was living with Maung Ye Aung’s cousin at her resident in Mae Sot. With the help of its members, PVA brought them to the office from the cousin’s house in Honphai and inspected. According to Ma Hla Hla Htwe under 15 years old, her mother had forced her to get married with her second cousin without her consent. She finally confessed that that’s the reason she decided to elope with her lover. However, PVA had comforted and explained the girl that it’s illegal for a teenager under 18 to get married. PVA had managed to persuade the girl to go back home along with her mother eventually. Likewise, Maung Ye Aung was allowed to go back to his cousin for the reunion of his parents.
