An analysis of custody of minor wife in India
Keywords:
Early, MarriageAbstract
Millions of youngsters throughout the globe are affected by early marriage. It is described as a marriage that takes place before the girl is physically, medically, and mentally ready to take on the duties of marriage and childbearing, known as minor or child marriages. A child's marriageability is jeopardised by a slew of variables. Children are encouraged to get married early on in the expectation that it will benefit them both financially and socially, as well as relieve the family's financial stress. It has long been established that the age at which a woman marries, the age at which she gives birth to her first child, and the age of her husband all have strong relationships with each other.
