Progress in ending child marriage stagnating in India; 1 in 5 girls, 1 in 6 boys are married: Study
One in five girls and about one in six boys in India are married, with the progress made towards eliminating the practice of child marriage entirely stagnating in recent years, according to a study published in ‘The Lancet Global Health' journal. Between 2016 and 2021, the practice of child marriage also became more common in some states and Union territories, researchers said in their study. Girl child marriages increased in six states, including Manipur, Punjab, Tripura, and West Bengal, while eight states, including Chhattisgarh, Goa, Manipur, and Punjab, witnessed a rise in boy child marriages.
