Paper Title:
A STUDY ON THE HARMFUL PRACTICES SUCH AS CHILD, EARLY AND FORCED MARRIAGE AND FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION VIS-A-VIS A CRITICAL STUDY ON PREVALENCE OF PERSONAL LAWS AGAINST STATUTORY PROVISIONS
The Sustainable Development Goals as adopted in 2015 are a universal call-to-action to achieve peace and prosperity for all by the year 2030. The SDGs are a set of global goals for fair and sustainable health at every level. One of the targets (Target 5.3) identified under Goal 5 of the Sustainable Development Goals is the elimination of all harmful practices such as child, early and forced marriages and female genital mutilation. This research paper aims to identify the practices contributing to the increase in harmful practices leading to child, early and forced marriages and female genital mutilation, in the current day scenario. This paper shall also examine the current statistics in India with special reference to the recent crackdown on child marriages in Assam, where around 4500 cases were registered. It also aims to draw comparisons between practices being conducted among several nations and their implications on welfare of girls/women. It further aims to present the prevalence of personal laws over Statutes such as The Prohibition of Child Marriages Act, 2006. The paper aims to identify the major factors that contribute to the primitive customs and beliefs which lead to the continuation of these practices. The paper will also examine how customs differ in each personal law and how they are in conflict with Statutes that were created to extinguish these practices. The paper further aims to bring to light the possible recommendations that can help abolish such practices.
