Child marriages remain Kerala’s secret shame

[Levina]

@Aminroop....This is a serious issue we have in our hand..... to give you an idea some of my class mates are grandmothers.....

This issue was severe in malappuram Wynad, calicut areas predominantly from Muslim community and lower caste hindu community, and this was attributed to lack of education and awareness. Things have changed in last decade, awareness have improved a the percentage is dropped,If you read the OP southern districts contribute more....

@ranjeet
I told you that a certain community has this problem.

Somehow I thought the issue is more rampant in northern kerala.

But even with all this, we still get frustrated at some of the antics that Kerala people try to pull (heavy unionisation, do everything by the book/regulation, "lazy", communist like thinking etc etc) when they are within Kerala but also when they come to TN to work......because we have seen they suddenly shed this mentality when they go to Gulf to work.....they can be real hard industrious workers if they commit themselves to be (after all they are the same overall stock as us Tamil makkal)...but for some reason they still for a large part choose not to be when in India. Maybe my impression is outdated now, who knows.

Nah its still the same. We had rented our house to a company, which was executing a government project, as a guest house for their engineers. They finished the project on a loss with a 1 year delay. Mainly due to labour problems and continuous strikes. They were asked to take up the next project without tendering. They refused and said even if you double the payment we are not interested.

Kerala is a great place, I love to go for my vacations and relaxing. For business, no freaking way. Give me Bombay anytime!
