Marriage is considered a sacred bond in India, where it is believed that two individuals are united not only in this life but also in their future lives. India, with its diverse culture and rich history, has been grappling with the issue of child marriages for decades. Children seem to have been exploited in a lot of ways within the family and the society since ancient times and one of the worst forms of such exploitation is Child marriage. The prevalence of child marriage in India is closely linked to deeply entrenched cultural norms and gender-based discrimination, perpetuated by poverty, illiteracy, and lack of access to healthcare and education. Efforts to combat child marriage in India have been ongoing for decades, but progress has been slow. To combat this practice, the Indian government has taken several steps, including the implementation of the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006. Despite legislative measures, social attitudes, and economic incentives, the practice of child marriage persists with dire consequences for both physical and mental health, and education of a child especially girl child. The government must strictly enforce the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 and raise awareness among communities to change their mindset. Children should be given access to education and healthcare, and parents must be educated about the importance of delaying marriage. Only through collective efforts can we put an end to this harmful practice and empower young children to reach their full potential.
