Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Rooted in social reform but anchored constitutionally via Article 15(3) enabling special laws for women and children. The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act (2006) fixes minimum marriageable ages (18 for females, 21 for males). It renders underage marriages voidable, punishing those who solemnize or participate in such unions. While it attempts to curb exploitation, rural areas still face entrenched customs. Courts occasionally intervene, especially if minors’ rights are at stake. Linking with education incentives, health initiatives, and awareness drives is vital for effective prevention. Understanding the legal-cum-social framework clarifies how India addresses age-old traditions impacting child rights.
