Hi All
In this particular society when a boy became 21-25 years old then their parents thinks that his marriage age has over (Specially low educated people). So, they are accepting Child Marriage. This is the same case of girl. If the age of their daughter became 17-21, they think her daughter marriage age has over.
When, I searched about it, I found that for this thinking there is a cause and this cause is boy and girl ratio. Especially in these area Delhi, Haryana, Western U.P., there is a very vast gap between boy and girl ratio.
But, this problem has started from 90’s and Child Marriage is happening from the last 100 years. Actually, Now, Child Marriages are mainly found in Pakistan & in India in North Indian state like Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, J & K, Gujarat, Western U.P., Punjab.
These are the main places that were belong to Mugal Emperor……….
To protect them, Child Marriage has started and continued at the British rule and even today also.
You all will be surprised to know that, till 50’s means at the time of India’s Independence Child Marriage had not only limited, it is also happening now-a-days.
According to my search the main cause of this is literacy.
As we can understand by a Survey’s Report conducted at Harkesh Nagar, New Delhi.
This is the situation of urban area of New Delhi. The city of President, the city of Prime Minister and the city of Media. So, we can imagine what is happening in the villages.
THE SURVEY REPORT:
During this search, met with some students, who are studying professional courses. A boy from Harkesh Nagar, Now he is studying MBA. He is 22 years old and he has 2 children. First child is 4 years old. Ques asked from him “Why this is happening?”, but have not got any genuine reply from that boy. But, i think that they are just following their tradition,bcoz, according to him, in there family, that was happening from so many years.
During this research, i found many problems regarding “Child Marriage” that is totally different according to Govt. and other NGO’s surveys…
You all are most welcomed to tell your views about, “ child-marriage” or related issues…
