About the book:
The book “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 15–17 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.
