CHILD MARRIAGE
Our great motherland India emerged as the world's child marriage capital. This statement was given by the UN [UNITED NATIONS] agencies- UNICEF, UNFPA, UN Women and UN Information Centre. Its not a recent or very much appaling things as these things have been there in our country for a very long time. In my perception no one in India would be scandalized, distressed and jolted by all the figures stated by theses agencies of United Nations as the whole India has been watching this tradition and practice from the medieval period of our great Indian history.
In states like Bihar, Rajasthan, Haryana etc. child marriage is regarded as a ritual that numerous of people do. In these state the girls and boys are married in such a small age when they even don't know how to speak and when they come of age the girl is sent to the house of the boy, but nowadays the traditions have altered. Parents nowadays sent their girl to the house of her husband even before turning 18 years. And this time one of the poorest and impoverished state, Bihar has topped the ranking outwitting every other state behind.
These traditions have been in India from the medieval period of our history. The sons and daughters of the kings were married when they were toddlers so as to make treaties in between the rulers and constrict their daughters and sons but some unlettered people understood these ceremonies as their inheritence and imposed their own culture and wishes forcefully and subdued their children to accept all these things.
All these things continued and carried on, but this is not the fact that these things could not have been restrained , if dealt intellectually all these things could have been stopped from happening but our politicians who have always been doing the votebank, fear losing the elections by altering and curbing this rampant child marriage and that's why fearing Khap Panchayat our government procrastinate the demand for a social society not permitting all these things and carried on with all these unfair rituals and that's why today's figures show that 40% of world's child marriages are conducted in India and that's why our this great country is termed as the capital of child marriages around the world. This tradition has seen a very large declined in asian countries but India, and vice versa in India it has climed upto a bigger level which was not expected by anyone. Our politicians are busy doing scam and in order to gain vote they are reluctant to take any stiff action against this ritual. Many times voices are raised but they are again supressed and people who raise their voice are oppressed and disturbed and the khap panchayats are favoured by the our politicians and are with full support and assistance of our MPs MLAs etc. and these things are also aggravated and exacerbated by the illeteracy in India. Unlettered people just, don't want to understand the cons of child marriage and are in full opposition of those who oppose their this ritual.
There are thousands of demereits of child marriage. Girls are devoid of childhood and are not able to do what they want and if their husband dies at a very small age, she has to live her whole life as a widow of that person and has to endure the harsh treatment given to her by people. Premature pregnancy and many other diseases are its other side effects and there are also thousands of others things which even can't be listed in this blog.
CONCLUSION
At last I would just like to say that our minister should stop doing the prevalent vote bank politics and should think about the children of India, the future of India.
THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY.
