Book Description
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.

Book Description
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 Description
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.

Book Description
In a changing world, how can we be sure that women as well as men entrepreneurs and workers obtain the benefit from these changes? Ensuring that women have the same legal opportunities as men is one part of the picture. By measuring where the law treats men and women differently, Women, Business and the Law shines a light on how women's incentives or capacity to work are affected by the legal environment and provides a basis for improving regulation. The fourth edition in a series, Women, Business and the Law 2016: Getting to Equal examines laws and regulations affecting women's prospects as entrepreneurs and employees in 173 economies, across seven areas: accessing institutions, using property, getting a job, providing incentives to work, building credit, going to court, and protecting women from violence. The report's quantitative indicators are intended to inform research and policy discussions on how to improve women's economic opportunities and outcomes.
