Annexure 18 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ D.O. No.8/3/95 – PRP&P March 17, 2005 Dear 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. I would request that a systematic effort should be made by the concerned Department in the States/Union Territories 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, Yours sincerely, Sd/- (A.S. Anand) To The Chief Minister/Administrators of all States/Union Territories 332 National Human Rights Commission Annual Report - 2004-2005 AR-Chapter-1-19-10-6-06.p65 352 7/17/06, 6:31 PM
Annexure 19 Para 17.5 Letter from the Secretary General, NHRC to the Secretaries, Ministry of Panchayati Raj and the Department of Women and Child Development as well as to the Chief Secretaries and Secretaries of the Department of Women and Child Development/ Social Welfare of all States and Union Territories regarding campaign against Child Marriage D.O. No.8/3/95 – PRP&P March 18, 2005 Dear Smt. Nayyar, 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 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 openly performed in violation of the CMRA. 3. You would agree that the prevalence of the practice of child marriage is a stigma on 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 (DWCD) is the Nodal Department in the Government of India, I would request that a systematic effort should be made by the DWCD 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 so that the society at large may swerve away from this evil practice. 4. I would appreciate if the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Scheme whereby the existent three tier system consisting of the Child Development Project Officers, Supervisors and Anganwadi workers could also be used to spread awareness against child marriages. With regards, Smt. Reva Nayyar Secretary, Ministry of Human Resource Development (Department of Women & Child Development) Shastri Bhawan, New Delhi – 110 001 Yours sincerely, Sd/- (Nirmal Singh) National Human Rights Commission Annual Report - 2004-2005 333 AR-Chapter-1-19-10-6-06.p65 353 7/17/06, 6:31 PM
