New Movie Says BIG NO To 'Child Marriages'

<b></b>

Child marriage is a common practice in many countries around the world, however it is especially prevalent in India, where more than one third of all child brides live.According to UNICEF, 47% of girls are married by 18 years of age, and 18% are married by 15 years of age.
These marriages are often performed without the consent of the girls involved in the marriage. Indian law and some Religious Laws has made child marriage illegal, but it is still widely practiced across the many African nations.

The highest rates are seen particularly in the rural states of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, Northern Nigeria, e.t.c. It affects both boys and girls, but statistics show that girls are far more likely to be forced into a child marriage than boys; however the percentage of girls forced into child marriage in India has declined in recent years.
