Nearly 12 million Indian children were married before the age of 10 years–84% of them Hindu and 11% Muslim–reveals an IndiaSpend analysis of recently released census data.

To put it in context, this number is equivalent to Jammu & Kashmir’s population.

As many of 7.84 million (65%) married children were female, reinforcing the fact that girls are significantly more disadvantaged; eight in 10 illiterate children who were married were also girls.

The data further reveal that 72% of all Hindu girls married before 10 were in rural areas, as compared to 58.5% Muslim girls, with higher levels of education correlating with later marriage.

Jain women marry latest (at a median age of 20.8 years), followed by Christian women (20.6 years) and Sikh women (19.9 years). Hindu and Muslim women have the lowest median age at first marriage (16.7 years), IndiaSpend reported earlier based on a seven-state report from Nirantar, a Delhi-based advocacy.

Women from urban areas, on average, marry more than two years later than their rural counterparts, IndiaSpend reported earlier.

The report also noted that the level of teenage pregnancy and motherhood is nine times higher among women with no education than among women with 12 or more years of education.

80% of illiterate children married before 10 are girls

As many as 5.4 million (44%) married children under 10 were illiterate–80% of them female–indicating how lower levels of education correlate with early marriage.

As many as 1,403 females have never attended any educational institution for every 1,000 males who have not, IndiaSpend reported earlier.

In developing countries, girls with less access to quality education are more likely to marry early, argued Quentin Wodon, an advisor with the World Bank’s education department.

Better and safer job opportunities for girls may also reduce child marriage, as might better access to basic infrastructure (water, electricity), which frees up time spent on domestic chores for schooling, wrote Wodon.

30% girls, 42% boys married before legal ages

The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act states that a girl in India cannot marry before age 18, a boy before 21.

A Muslim girl can marry when she attains puberty or completes 15 years of age, according to Muslim Personal Law, the Gujarat High Court and Delhi High Court noted in different judgments.

As many as 102 million girls (30% of female population) were married before 18 in 2011; the number was 119 million in 2001 (44% of female population), a decrease of 14 percentage points over the decade.

Among boys, 125 million were married before 21 years of age (42% of male population) in 2011; the number was 120 million in 2001 (49% of male population), a decrease of 7 percentage points over the decade.

I am sorry to say , it has nothing to do with following the law or modern education, its about hindutva following the Hinduism in its true ancient form.

We can not say that, present day India was a beautiful piece of land, but present day occupiers are filthy so making it a filthy place, in all aspects.

Is that the reason the teen girls from the subcontinents are married of to old arabs.

Wrong is a wrong ,I am sure no Indian will come and give justification.girls should not be married before 20.

It's mostly marwaris customs of kids marrying young. But they are not made to live until long after their hubby starts earning. It's regressive and it forms like an barriers around kids attitude towards life.

please see the references below.

it have lot of things, if I post Mods will delete under the label of religious thingy...i fear......the things will shock you.....

Gautama (18-21).—‘A girl should be given in marriage before puberty.’

Vaśiṣṭha (17.70).—‘Out of fear of the appearance of the menses, let the father marry his daughter while she still runs about naked. For if she stays in the home after the age of puberty, sin falls on the father.’

Baudhāyana (4. 1.11).—‘Let him give his daughter, while she still goes about naked, to a man who has not broken the vow of chastity and who possesses good qualities, or even to one destitute of good qualities; let him not keep the maiden in his house after she has reached the age of puberty.’


  1. Manu 9:94. A man, aged thirty years, shall marry a maiden of twelve who pleases him, or a man of twenty-four a girl eight years of age; if (the performance of) his duties would (otherwise) be impeded, (he must marry) sooner.



  1. Vishnu Purana III:10 If he marry,he must select a maiden who is of a third his age,one who has not too much hair,but is not without any,one who is not very black or yellow complexioned and who is not from birth a cripple or deformed…”

Can you link to a website where I can read more of it ...

Child marriage is a social issue plaguing South Asia as a whole, not specific to India only. But unfortunately Pakistani members are feeling happy about the issue in India and simply ignoring the fact that the same issue is equally pressing in Pakistan, Bangladesh or Nepal.

I don't want to embarrass you guys by putting in UN numbers, rather would request you to do soul searching before commenting on something which is a common problem for all of us.

India is an enemy country for you guys - I get it, but that does not justify you trying to be nasty on everything related to India...

Child marriage remains a menace to the world whether it is India, Pakistan,Bangladesh or anywhere else.

Surely something has to be done. This is an astonishing figure. These children must be protected. Parents ought to ashamed
@masterchief_mirza @PAKISTANFOREVER @Pan-Islamic-Pakistan @Verve @PakFactor @Areesh
I never want to score points on child related threads but how can Indians come on here and try to tell us the faults with Pakistan when they avoid news like the plague when it’s in their back yard? The hypocrisy is deafening. They crawl back under their rocks quick as possible.

Why would Indians care? As long as brahmins and brahminists are happy, who cares about the rest of the cannon fodder in Hindustan? It was always the problem with this particular group, and it will continue to be a problem until some benevolent abrahamic imposes a different, less elitist system that actually empowers these poor fukers.

Filthy pedophiles,.......




In their endless gluttony and lust for bobs and Vangene, they aren't even sparing little children.




They need child protection laws in that backward country asap but what they will get is more cow protection laws....



Cows are worth more than their own kids, what a society.
