Nanded District Administration Prevents 36 Child Marriages in One Month

In Maharashtra's Nanded district, authorities prevented 36 child marriages between April 12 and May 13 through a campaign involving counselling, awareness, and on-ground verification. Complaints were received via the 24-hour 1098 Childline service. The affected girls are being presented before the Child Welfare Committee for protection. The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006, sets the legal marriage age at 18 for females and 21 for males, with legal consequences for violations. District Collector Rahul Kardile urged public reporting of such cases.
