At the age of 12, Pushpomoyi Dutt was married to Jogendranath Dutt of the Hathwa Estate. Pushpomoyi, one of seventeen siblings, grew up in Calcutta.  She belonged to a family of established lawyers.  While the girls in the family were not sent to school, they could read and write fluently in Bengali, and sign their names in English.
