The child marriage in India

The new is entitled: “Sex and sensibility: breaking through India's patriarchal bias”

And is about high rates of child marriage in India. And one organisation is trying of  changing the status of girls in society, as the first question is whether early marriage - it is a problem of child rights? Or a health issue?  Concluding that it is all of those, but primarily gender discrimination. And the low status of girls and women, plus the idea that they are an economic burden.

Early marriage in general is because girls are considered a burden. They are not valued as children and can´t decide about their lives, such as when and with whom they want to marry and sexuality is seen as a disgrace. Therefore is impossible for them to discuss their rights to sexual and reproductive health.

The problem is that marriage rates in India are still high despite the laws that have been created several years ago, another problem is that girls have a poor education in the country, especially in vulnerable sectors. But she hopes to do many things for them.

What has been done is that it has studied the causes and impact of early marriage, and the identification of the institutions of civil society can work to resolve the problem, as parents, community leaders and children.
