"Mahatma Phule had launched first ever campaign for widow-remarriage along with Vishnu Shastri Bapat. He took many steps to get the public support for this.


He travelled from place to place for this motive. He ran child-care home for children of widows with his wife.


The couple even adopted the son of a Brahmin widow.


He took a bold step of encouraging the barbers to boycott tonsuring the heads of widows, which was the practice forced on Brahmin widows specially.
