Annexure 18 Para 17.5 Letters from Chairperson, NHRC to the Minister for Human Resource Development, Government of India and the Chief Ministers/Administrators of all States/Union Territories Regarding Campaign Against Child Marriage D.O. No.8/3/95 – PRP&P March 17, 2005 Dear Minister, The Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1929 (CMRA) has been in force since 1929. The objective of the legislation has been to restrain solemnization of child marriages as it is punishable under the Act. 2. The Act has been in force for almost 75 years. However, it is unfortunate that the evil of child marriage continues to exist even today in a few States like Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh etc. It is on ‘Akshya Trutiya’, popularly known as ‘Akha Teej’ when hundreds of child marriages are performed in violation of the CMRA. 3. You would agree that the prevalence of the practice of child marriage is a stigma on the society. In order to eradicate this evil, there is need to generate public awareness so that the people at large are educated about the demerits of child marriage as well as the prohibition contained in the Act. Since the Department of Women and Child Development is the Nodal Department in the Ministry of Human Resource Development, I would request that a systematic effort should be made by your concerned Department in organising awareness programmes/ campaigns to educate people as well as sensitise them through the print and electronic media on the scourge of child marriage to eliminate this evil practice. With regards, Shri Arjun Singh Minister for Human Resource Development Shastri Bhawan New Delhi – 110 001 Yours sincerely, Sd/- (A.S. Anand) National Human Rights Commission Annual Report - 2004-2005 331 AR-Chapter-1-19-10-6-06.p65 351 7/17/06, 6:31 PM
