Grown man Quote by Neil D'Silva

“What do you think? Am I a monster to give up my little girl to a grown man? Of course, this is not going to happen. Maybe yes, if it was 50 years ago. Not now. We don’t do child marriages anymore; I won’t stand for it. I will deal with that fool if he lands up here again.” quote by Neil D'Silva
