    Child marriages: The plight of child grooms nobody talks about
    (Child Rights and You (CRY), 2019-01-16) Moitra, Soha
    Statistics point out that Rajasthan sees one of the highest instances of child marriage in the country. While the conversations largely revolve around girl children, the boys in the state are at the risk of being married off before their 20s too. National Family Health Survey data indicates that 35 per cent of the women aged between 20 and 24 years who were surveyed were married before 18 years. Thirty five per cent of men aged between 25 and 29 years who were surveyed were married before age 21 years as well.
