Explanation:

The National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights has recently asked the Rajasthan state government to reconsider the provisions of the Rajasthan Compulsory Registration of Marriages (Amendment) Bill 2021

The said bill was recently passed by the Rajasthan state Assembly.

As per NCPCR, the Bill gives legitimacy to child marriages and is in contravention of several child protection laws.

According to the new bill, the bride and groom can apply for registration of marriage to the marriage registration officer of the place where they have been residing for more than 30 days.

The bill that has brought child marriage under its ambit states that the marriage between the bridegroom who has not completed 21 years and the bride who has not completed 18 years of age could be registered by the parents or guardians within the 30 days of the marriage.
