One of the significant moments in Rukhmabai's life was her resistance to child marriage. She was married off at the age of 11, but she refused to live with her husband, and the case went to court. The legal battle gained attention and became a landmark case known as "Rukhmabai V. Dadaji." In 1888, the court ruled in her favor, recognizing her right to refuse conjugal rights in a child marriage.

Today in 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, USA. President Kennedy was riding in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza when he was shot and killed. The exact circumstances and motivations behind the assassination have been the subject of numerous investigations, theories, and debates. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was only 46 years old at the time of his death. The official investigation, led by the Warren Commission, concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in shooting Kennedy from a sixth-floor window of the Texas School Book Depository. Oswald was captured but was killed by Jack Ruby before he could stand trial, adding another layer of mystery to the case.
