Child Marriage Act 2006

•

Child marriage is a significant problem in India, with over 15 million children married each year and 15.4 million expected to be married by 2030. The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act was passed in 2006 to address issues with previous laws and allow children forced into marriage to annul their marriages. Child marriage occurs mainly due to tradition, gender roles, poverty, and security concerns. It negatively impacts girls' education, health, and economic opportunities and increases their risk of violence and HIV/AIDS. To address this problem, communities must be educated, girls empowered, and traditional leaders and men engaged to change social norms.
