Education & Self Awareness

India, which has one third of the world's minor brides, is preparing to modify the rule that outlaws child marriage and will treat any future marriages involving children as unlawful/invalid.

The massive media outcry that occurs from time to time, along with legislative safeguards to protect them, has given Indian women the courage to speak up and fight against the pervasive and shameless abuses perpetrated against them.

Here’s a bird’s eye-view of the outcomes:

  • Emerging legal complaints sparked by the encouraging administrative action.
  • A significant reduction in foetal sexing, with the propensity to minimise the rising number of female infanticide cases
  • Opportunities to rectify imbalanced CSR rate.
  • Developing a strong sense of knowledge and dread of the law, with a view to prevent the horrific practice of female feticide in the country.
  • A shift in societal attitude, with females becoming less likely to be viewed as an economical and social obligation.
  • Growing number of girls seeking higher education, particularly from marginalized social and economic categories.

The Indian woman has long been portrayed as a symbol of power and strength. However, if atrocities like female infanticide and feticide are to be eradicated, the stereotypical Indian patriarchal attitude must evolve.
