Child Marriage in Modern India
Child Marriage in Modern India was one of the chief issues taken up by women activists. A lot of propaganda and campaigning was done during this time to fight against the evils of child marriage and make the people aware of the drawbacks of this obsolete custom. The women got involved in national level political campaigning during this time and the Government could no longer ignore this issue. The biggest achievement regarding the child marriage issue during this time was the passing of the Child Marriage Restraint Act.
