![This reel highlights the prevalence of child marriages in India, 74 years since the Constitution came into force. In India, child marriage is dealt with under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006. A child marriage is any marriage in which at least one of the persons getting married is a child. The Act defines a ‘child’ as:
•A male who has not completed 21 years of age; or
•A female who has not completed 18 years of age. If a male adult above 18 years of age marries a girl child below 18 years, he can be punished with rigorous imprisonment of up to two years and/or a fine of up to one lakh rupees.
