Nowadays, the child bride is usually from poor families and aged 15-17. This book discusses why child marriage persists despite numerous legislative and policy initiatives to 'eliminate' the practice. The chapters examine social and legal reforms to raise the age of marriage; contemporary education and health related policy attempts at prevention; relationship of child marriage with child labour, sex work, human trafficking and other issues. Increasingly, there is greater resistance to marriages arranged by parents from the 'child' brides themselves who can now access institutional and bureaucratic support. How hopeful are these developments? The book goes beyond a simple policy focus on 'elimination' and provides a much-needed understanding of marriage and women's agency within the context of the Indian marriage system"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Child marriage $z India. 650 0 $a Child marriage $x Law and legislation $z India. 650 0 $a Teenage girls $z India $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Women's rights $z India. 650 7 $a Child marriage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854482 650 7 $a Child marriage $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854484 650 7 $a Teenage girls $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01145452 650 7 $a Women's rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178818 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 700 1 $a Sen, Samita, $e editor. 700 1 $a Ghosha, Anindita, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Love, labour and law $d New Delhi, India ; Thousand Oaks, California : SAGE, 2021. $z 9789381345597 $w (DLC) 2020044156 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220602015711.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526013907.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=10459574177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
