Answer 2

Answer :

Child marriage :-

•Child marriage is very common in most parts of rural India.

•Children especially girls below 18 years of age are married to elder men on confines of bonds between their parents.

• This leads to one of the major problems i.e. teenage pregnancy. It is extremely harmful to the girl as well as the baby as the young girl’s body is not prepared to bear a child.

• It causes severe deficiencies to the mother as well as the baby and the child birth can be extremely complex. The children born out of these young pregnancies are weak, undernourished, and sometimes mentally retarded as well.

Female foeticide:

•The girl child is still deemed to be a burden in India and many of the times, these fetuses are aborted in the womb itself.

•This has led to drastic decline in the male-female sex ratio.

•To combat this, prenatal sex determination has been banned in India and any trained individual practicing it is punishable by law.
