Assam Sees Steepest Decline in Child Marriages

Assam Sees Steepest Decline in Child Marriages

Child marriages are becoming less common in Assam!

The state has seen a big drop in these marriages, especially compared to the rest of India.

This happened because the government took serious action and worked with others to teach people about the dangers of child marriage.

The government made arrests, and the people of Assam were more aware of the laws.

Because of this work, Assam has reduced these marriages more than any other state.
