Explanation:

Desh Hiteshini Sabha was founded in Udaipur (Mewar) on 2 July 1877 to find a solution to the problems related to marriage.

There have been many prevalent child marriage, sati and female infanticide practices.  The value of marriage money also became popular for dowry or unmatched marriages. The father or brother arranged their daughter or sister's marriage to someone who was either wealthy even though they were older than the girl or who was willing to give the girl's family a large sum of money. To improve the condition of women the Sabha was established.
