Kriti Bharti
Indian rehabilitation psychologist
Kriti Bharti (born August 19, 1987) is an Indian rehabilitation psychologist and children's rights activist. Bharti made headlines as the first annuller of child marriage in India.
She is the founder and director of Saarthi Trust, a non-profit organization that primarily rescues and ensures the recovery and welfare of child marriage victims. Bharti's team has annulled more than 41 child marriages and prevented more than 1,400 from occurring.
Early life and education
Bharti was born on August 19, 1987, in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Bharti's father abandoned her pregnant mother, Indu Chopra. This was considered a disgrace in a conservative environment, and relatives demanded that Chopra abort or remarry. Despite the pressure, Bharti's mother persisted and raised the child alone. Her mother also suffered medical complications during her pregnancy and Bharti was born prematurely at seven months.
As a child, Bharti was physically and verbally tortured by relatives who considered her cursed.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as indian rehabilitation psychologist. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q98953071. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1987.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
