West Bengal is grappling with an alarming child marriage crisis, with over 60,000 underage deliveries reportedly coming under the lens in just six months. The state also records a child marriage prevalence of 36.4%, raising serious questions over why the practice continues despite laws aimed at preventing it.
As authorities promise stricter action, experts point to education, awareness and sustained social intervention as crucial to tackling the problem at its roots.
