Child marriage is an age old practice that is still prevalent in India. The development and modernization of India and with the implementation of the strict rules of marriage able age to be 18 for girls and 21 for boys has resulted in a considerable downfall in the number of child marriages. Still there is a lack of awareness in small villages where the illegal practice of Child marriage is prevalent. As a result of child marriage, the girl child is considered merely as an object of pleasure by her in her husband and other members of the family. The girl who gets married as a child is confined in the four walls of the household even before she enters puberty. In almost all the cases, the married girl child gains no further education thus increasing the illiteracy rate in India. Some child marriages are conducted between a girl child and an old man. Though this is astonishing but this is true. As a result of this these girls get widowed by the time they attain adulthood and most of the society do not allow widows to remarry. A girl child has to live the life of a widow for no fault of hers. As a result of child marriages, Indian women at large cannot participate in worldly affairs thus hindering its social, economic and political development as a whole. Thus by helping two children from entering into such a horrendous affair, you are assuring a brighter future not only for these children but for India as a whole.

•Support their skills and empower them.
• Motivating and informing their families against the adverse effects of child marriage.
• Educate the society on the adversities and bad results of early marriages.
•Encourage existence of legal support against such false beliefs. Empowering girl child on their rights.

Child marriage is an old practice which is still prevalent in India, especially in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana. With the implementation of India's development and modernization and strict rules of marriageable age, there has been a considerable decline in the number of child marriages due to 18 for boys and 21 for boys. Yet there is a shortage of awareness among small villages where illegal marriage practices are practiced.
Meaning:
Child marriage is the formal marriage of children who are under 18 years of age. Indian law prohibits marriages where a girl or boy under the age of 18 is not able to get 21 years of age. This is a big problem in Indian society because children's lives, especially girls, are troubled by this bad problem. Child marriage is a major social issue, although an ancient tradition, this tradition is prevalent in many parts of India, especially in rural areas.
