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.

Prohibition of Child Marriage act, 2006 is the central Act which prohibits solemnisation of child marriages and constitutes child marriages by a male adult with a girl child as an offence under Section 9.

Section 11 of the Prohibition of Child Marriages Act also provides punishment for promoting or solemnising of child marriages
