child marriage

Child marriage means to kill the childhood of a child. Child marriage is a blind faith which is mainly followed by rural people. They think that if their daughter’s get married their responsibility is over. But they don’t know its effects. People in India believe that if girls are educated then, after her marriage she will become a widow. Girls are forced to bear the domestic burden related to kitchen and are not allowed to choose their husband and are forcefully married. If girls are married in their child age, they face great difficulties, they are badly treated as they don’t know how to do work. They become mothers at their early child age. They become the victims of sexually transmitted diseases. And if they become widow in early age they had to get burned in their husband’s pyre, which is called “SATI PRATHA”. Widows were also not allowed to remarry. And if someone was remarried they were not easily accepted in society and were opposed by people. It not only affects the girl’s life but also the boy’s life. The boy get’s the responsibility of his family. He has to get a job and earn money. But today the time has changed. Today the girl’s should have the freedom to go to schools and get educated. They should be adults before they are legally married. They should be given the freedom to marry they like of any caste or any community. And widows should be given the right from the society to remarry. Awareness should also be spread among people. A girl should get married when she is 18 years old and a boy when he is 21years old. Otherwise strict action would be taken by government and parents can be put in the prison for making others do child marriage. So, we must persuade people to give up old practices and adopt a new way of life. SO, STOP CHILD MARRIAGE AND LET EACH CHILD BLOSSOM
