A mass child marriage ceremony in India has been captured on camera - showing young brides crying as they are forced to wed.
The heartbreaking video was taken in Chittorgarh, a city in Rajasthan, northern India, a state in the country that is prevalent for child marriages.
In one clip a young girl of around ten-years-old is desperately crying and pleading for help as her father drags her around the customary ceremony.
In another clip, a priest - conducting the Hindu ritual - is also seen scolding the children for crying.
Six marriages took place in two days around the Akshaya Tritiya, a Hindu festival believed to be auspicious for child marriages in rural India.
One of the child brides, a five-year-old, is seen dressed in a Hindu bridal dress and is forced to walk around the fire with her child groom, an 11-year-old.
She is crying loudly but a man forces her to complete the Hindu wedding ritual, which involves walking around the fire seven times.
The identities of the others in the footage are yet to be confirmed by police, who have already registered a case against the several families that forced their children to marry but all are currently on the run and in hiding.
