Book excerpt: Love, Labour and Law: Early and Child Marriage in India is a path-breaking book on an issue that has not been analysed in depth for a while, perhaps since it does not affect the elite. Today, the child brides are usually from poor families. They are of 1517 years as compared to much younger brides in the earlier times. The book discusses why child marriages persist despite numerous legislative and policy initiatives to eliminate the practice. The chapters examine social and legal reforms to raise the age of marriage; contemporary education and health-related policy attempts at prevention; relationship of child marriage with child labour, sex work, human trafficking and other issues. Increasingly, there is greater resistance to marriages arranged by parents from the child brides themselves who can now access institutional and bureaucratic support. How hopeful are these developments? The book goes beyond a simple policy focus on elimination and provides a much-needed understanding of marriage and womens agency within the context of the Indian marriage system.

Download or read book Child Marriage in an International Frame written by Mary E. John and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child marriage has been given a pre-eminent place in agendas addressing “harmful practices” as defined by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. India leads the world in the number of women who marry below the age of 18 and is therefore of unique interest to international and national forums. Refusing simplistic labels like “harmful practice”, this book explores the complex history of child marriage as a social and feminist issue in India across different domains. It critically reviews a wide range of historical, demographic, and legal scholarship on the subject. Major concepts relevant to child marriage – such as childhood, adolescence, the girl, and marriage − are analysed in a comparative framework that uncovers the unnoticed presence of the practice in the USA and China. The volume questions existing approaches, analyses the latest data sources, and develops a new concept of compulsory marriage. A definitive study of child marriage in India in a changing global context, this book will interest scholars and students in the fields of women’s, gender and sexuality studies, childhood studies, development studies and the social sciences. It will also be of great appeal to all those working with civil society organisations, NGOs, states and international agencies in India, and globally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most in the United States likely associate the concept of the child bride with the mores and practices of the distant past. But Nicholas L. Syrett challenges this assumption in his sweeping and sometimes shocking history of youthful marriage in America. Focusing on young women and girls--the most common underage spouses--Syrett tracks the marital history of American minors from the colonial period to the present, chronicling the debates and moral panics related to these unions. Although the frequency of child marriages has declined since the early twentieth century, Syrett reveals that the practice was historically far more widespread in the United States than is commonly thought. It also continues to this day: current estimates indicate that 9 percent of living American women were married before turning eighteen. By examining the legal and social forces that have worked to curtail early marriage in America--including the efforts of women's rights activists, advocates for children's rights, and social workers--Syrett sheds new light on the American public's perceptions of young people marrying and the ways that individuals and communities challenged the complex legalities and cultural norms brought to the fore when underage citizens, by choice or coercion, became husband and wife.

This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Law - Public Law / Miscellaneous, grade: 2.0-2.2, University of Groningen, course: International Human Rights Law, language: English, abstract: Child marriage is a global concern that is neither a new phenomenon nor a sporadic event. Notwithstanding their recognition by the International Community as a human rights violation, the large scale at which such practices are happening all over the world is more than merely disturbing. The issue is further complicated by the fact that child marriage is often justified by communities’ customs or religion. Thus, the cultural sensitiveness that is required when implementing human rights standards could be and has often been employed by states to circumvent their legal obligations related to eradication of the practice by interpreting and applying the laws in a manner which although being in synchrony with one’s traditions or religious peculiarities is contrary to such fundamental principles as is the one of the best interest of the child. This thesis analyses India’s compliance with international human rights standards on child marriage found in UN instruments and recommendations. It endeavours to evaluate how far the state has come in adopting relevant policies and legislation, are they efficient and to what degree are they being actually implemented. It further identifies relevant social patterns that may affect the efforts towards child marriage eradication and suggests possible paths for changing the status quo. The rationale behind selecting India as a focal point of the research was the contradictory reality of child marriage prevalence despite the evidence of a governmental commitment to its eradication made at a global, regional, and national level. The thesis concludes that although India has made a great progress in terms of adoption of legislative and other measures, due to the ineffectiveness and week enforcement of the latter, the State fails to comply fully with its commitments under the respective international human rights treaties it is a party to.

Book excerpt: This volume examines, from a number of different perspectives, the implications of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, for justice for children. The contributors are drawn from a cross-section of the community of individuals with an interest in or responsibility for children: academics, practitioners, policy makers and researchers. It therefore blends the academic with the practical and has immediate relevance for those researchers, lawyers, academics, fieldworkers and policy makers whose concern is children's rights. Justice for Children is based on proceedings of the International Conference on Justice for Children, held in Glasgow, September 1992
