Crying Out For Legislative Attention: The Inadequate Child Marriage Laws Of India

Author(s) Dr. Prashant Bhadu
Country India
Abstract The paper will first briefly discuss the history of child marriage laws in India, their efficiency as well as criticisms. For this the emphasis will be on the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act of 2005 and its implementation. The focus of the bill will then turn towards the Prohibition of Child Marriage Amendment Bill and analyze the proposed amendments in the Proposed Bill. In this Section, the paper will discuss the consequences as well as the rationale behind the amendment. An in depth analysis will be done about the increasing of age of marriage to 21 for females as well as increasing the time period of making the marriage void from 2 years to 4 years. Consequently, the paper will discuss how this amend ment could prove to be a stepping stone towards a Uniform Civil Code, mentioned in the Directive Principles of State Policy, mentioned in the constitution. This will be followed by a critique of the bill and will discuss the concepts of “Agency of Women” and the Scientific age of majority, as well as the UNICEF directives for minimum age of marriage. The final section of the paper will draw the conclusion and observe whether the new Amendment bill is a step forward or backward for curbing the menace of child marriages, or whether it maintains a status quo
