dc.description.abstractChild marriage is a major sociological problem that has persisted for centuries in India. The reason for its perpetuation is an issue that needs to be re-looked in the age and time when women’s emancipation is the buzz word. Since independence, Government has continued to tighten the legal provisions to prevent this undesirable practice, which is not only cruel to the children, specially the girl child but also deprives them of their basic rights. Child marriages contribute to virtually every social problem that keeps India behind in women’s rights. The problems include soaring birth rates, grinding poverty and malnutrition, high illiteracy and infant mortality, and low life expectancy, especially among rural women. There are multiple reasons why child marriages still take place – people’s traditional mindset and the deep-rooted beliefs of families that consider a girl as a liability and a burden who should be married off and sent to her husband’s house as soon as possible.
