Ranchi: A Social Activist Praveer Peter disclosed
the fact that Jharkhand Government is not serious to stop child marriage in the
state. He said, “more than 50 percent children got married in Jharkhand as
DLHS survey says, but government even not framed rules to implement the
Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006.”

| Govt. is not serious to stop child marriage |
The data sought through RTI from DGP
Office, Jharkhand about the details of cases registered under Prohibition of
Child Marriage Act, 2006 in police stations of Jharkhand. Period of this
information was from November, 2007 to August, 2013. The details provided from
various police stations from districts, but there was not any such cases
registered except Dugdha Police Station in Bokaro districts.
There are many awareness programme held in
the capital on child marriage issue, but reeal efforts seem not to be taken. In
this scenario Baidyanath Kumar of Jago Foundation filled a Public Interest Litigation
in Jharkhand High Court referring the survey conducted in Giridih and Deoghar.
