Child Marriage Challenges and Education Efforts in Assam and Rajasthan

Child marriage remains a significant issue in parts of India, including Assam's tea plantations and Rajasthan's rural communities. In Assam, young girls like 17-year-old Sunita face early motherhood amid limited intervention, while in Rajasthan, cultural norms prioritize marriage over education for girls like Barfina. However, grassroots efforts, such as those supporting girls like Zayda to continue schooling, demonstrate potential for change despite ongoing challenges in reaching all communities.
