India’s crackdown on child marriage has led to nearly 5000 arrests. The action is part of the government’s effort to prevent child marriages and protect children’s rights.
Authorities have reported that the arrests are particularly increasing in rural areas, where child marriages are more prevalent. The arrests include parents, marriage organizers, and other individuals involved in arranging illegal marriages for children.
This initiative is a major effort by the government to ensure the safety and education of children, as child marriages can have severe impacts on the health and education of young people. However, some groups have called for further measures to make the crackdown more effective.
