Mrs. P. D. Sherlin

Abstract :

 Marriage is an important event in the life of a person. It is a blending and agreement between two persons to live together and produce offspring. Marriage determines the fate of a person. In Indian society marriage is considered as a sacrament and as an important religious duty. Various forms of marriage prevail in the Indian society. Child marriage was one such form. Child marriage was an evil form of marriage because it hinders the growth of the children. This form of marriage existed in the society from time immemorial. A number of causes have been attributed towards child marriage. But still it has severe consequences in the society. It was only during the British period efforts were taken to put an end to this evil. The child marriage was banned in the society by passing the Child Marriage Restraint Act of 1929.
