    BecauseIndia is a backward country. This backwardness is manifested not only in the productive forces, but also in people's thinking.

    Now that we are in the 21st century, people's thinking has long been baptized by history and has become different from that of ancient times. Ancient thought believed that women were men's accessories, so they should obediently wash and cook at home, and teach their husbands and children; believes that giving birth to a girl is a loss-making business, and only by giving birth to a son can you enjoy a good life; It is believed that there are three, six, nine and other differences between people, and there are clear social class levels. These backward ideas have been spurned by modern times, but in India, they are all engraved in the minds of Indians.

    India is a backward nation. The Aryans invaded India and established a caste system in India, which still has a deep influence on India. Later, they were colonized by the British, and the development of economy and civilization was severely inhibited. It was not until 1947 that India was completely freed from British colonial rule.

    It is precisely because of this that India's development has been delayed, so the productivity and economy have not been good enough.

    And the economy determines the culture. India's economy is not good, resulting in a low level of education among the people, and the people's ideology and customs have not been completely civilized. For example, the caste system, even though India has ordered the abolition of the system, there is still a class concept in the Indian mentality, the upper caste thinks that they are superior, and the lower caste chooses to suffer in silence when they are suppressed and treated unfairly.

    The same is true for the concept of child marriage. The more backward the place, the more patriarchal it is. In India, poor families rarely allow girls to receive education, and they are taught to do household chores and help their parents from an early age.

    Moreover, India believes that raising a daughter is a waste of money, and when she grows up, she will have to pay a large amount of bride price to ensure that her daughter lives well in her husband's house. WhileThe sooner you marry your daughter, the less the bride price can be paid. For poor families, sending their daughters to child marriage is the best option.

    And this year's epidemic has had a huge impact on the economies of countries around the world. As a country with a large gap between the rich and the poor, the poor will only get poorer. As a result, the phenomenon of child marriage has increased significantly.

    During the epidemic, most factories and companies were shut down, and some enterprises closed down. This has led to the loss of livelihood** for many Indian families, which has led to the phenomenon of child marriage.

    The epidemic has put many families in India in a difficult situation, and in order to reduce the burden of life, many parents will let their sons go to work, and their daughters will marry off. There are also some ruthless parents who have a "speculative" mentality: they think that the management of child marriage will be lax during the epidemic, so they choose to rush to arrange the marriage for their daughter in the middle of the night, and because there are few guests, they can also save a lot of money for the wedding.

    It may be because Indians feel that child marriage can reduce the spread of the epidemic, and their thinking is more superstitious.

    If there is an incident of early marriage, it is in a nearby street, there is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl and a boy of the same age, because of the rebellious period irresponsible withdrawal from school, stealing forbidden fruits, these behaviors, resulting in both parents have to make the decision to set up a banquet first and then make up the marriage certificate. But for these things, everyone generally disagrees, and there are very few.

    Why is this a common occurrence in India? Child marriage in India began in the Vedic period, when a girl was said to be unmarried by the age of twelve, and the girl was a strange person. The gap between the rich and the poor in today's society in India is too great, with very few families being rich and the rest being poor.

    Child marriage is widespread in slums and rural areas.

    Affected by the epidemic, many families in India are suffering from a heavy burden of living, and in order to reduce the burden, they will let their sons go out to work and let their daughters marry into other people's families. Whether it is a reality or not, there is a bad way to force underage daughters to marry, which is why the number of child marriages in India has increased recently.

    Some parents have the mentality of selling their daughters, making their children give up school, forcing their minor daughters to marry men who are several generations older, and they can save money by holding weddings during the epidemic. This is why child marriage is on the rise in recent times.

    Almost all children are married to children. This is serious because the local male and female ratio is insufficient, and everyone is waiting for girls. The other is that because child marriage is a wrong cultural inheritance for them, they think that child marriage is stronger for the family, but this culture is wrong, and no one corrects it, so it has always been like this.

    The phenomenon of child marriage in India has become more serious under the impact of the epidemic this year, which has aroused people's concern.

    The reason why child marriage is so serious in India is because of the backward economic level, the large number of poor households, and the low standard of living.

    There are many cases of child marriage in India itself, and the status of women in India is relatively low, and many people have no money to eat due to the epidemic. Therefore, the incidence of child marriage has increased significantly, and this incident needs to be intervened to a certain extent.

    The epidemic has caused India's economy to decline, and parents who have no money will let their daughters marry off. India is not rich in the first place, and when the unemployment rate increases due to the epidemic, many girls' parents will let their daughters marry off so that they can get a sum of money to support the rest of their families.

    According to a recent report by the Times of India, child marriage in India has increased significantly during the pandemic. Of the nearly 100,000 child-related cases handled by children in India during the pandemic, more than 5,000 were related to child marriage. In fact, the legal age of marriage for women is 18 under Indian law, and child marriage is prohibited, with a fine of 1,000 rupees or several months of detention for those involved in intermarriage.

    However, there has been no way to completely ban child marriage in India, and it has increased during the pandemic.

    The second reason is that during the epidemic, the management of the grassroots level was relaxed, although there has always been management of child marriage. However, during the epidemic, more manpower and material resources were used for epidemic prevention. In this respect, child marriage is less restricted.

    On the other hand, some parents are also very happy to have weddings during the epidemic, because it will make everything easier, the number of people attending the wedding will be reduced, and the cost of the wedding will be reduced. As a result, many low-level people are very happy to hold weddings during the epidemic.

    Of course, the reasons for the existence of child marriage in India have always been complex, both related to the larger social environment and related to traditional beliefs and customs. I think this is also a big reason why India has not been able to truly ** child marriage. However, as long as the enforcement of the law keeps up with the gradual change of social attitudes, the situation will be better.

    India's current situation is not good at all, whether it is the epidemic or the economy, it is a relatively bad situation, so it has spawned a lot of negative news and events, which has caused great damage to India's international impression, and has also caused many social problems, especially the recent Indian child marriage that has been criticized by people all over the world, according to ** report, because of the impact of the epidemic, India's recent child marriage situation has become more and more serious, on August 30, a 12-year-old Indian girl was like a child ** asking for help, and said that he doesn't want to get married, she just wants to go to school and study, and she is currently facing the forced marriage of her family to marry a boy who is 7 years older than her.

    During this period of time, this child has not only received this request for help**, it seems that child marriage in India has gradually spread throughout the country overnight, but if you know the history of India, you will know that child marriage has a long history in India, because this custom is obviously illegal, and it is not something that modern civilized people can do at all, so India's ** is ordered to prohibit this kind of behavior, but in remote areas of India, people don't eat you, because you can't control it at all. In India's remote mountainous areas, child marriage is still rampant, partly because of poverty, and secondly, because of the lack of modern education and uncivilized thinking.

    The pandemic has made life even more difficult for many families in India who are already poor**. Therefore, in order to reduce the cost of living, many parents let boys go out to work to subsidize the family, while girls directly marry to save food. Moreover, most girls in India have no education at all, so they are married off by their families at a very young age.

    Moreover, the epidemic is so severe that the Indian authorities do not have the energy to be distracted from the matter of child marriage, and it is important to focus on the economy and stabilize the epidemic.

    The 60% increase in child marriage during the pandemic compared to last year shows that many girls are no longer able to go to school, and this situation will not be solved for a while.

    Yes, there has been a significant increase in child marriages in India recently due to the pandemic, some families are forced to make ends meet, and some are "speculative" to sell their daughters.

    According to Singapore's "Straits Times" 30**, in the middle of this month, the children set up in India received a childish request for help: a 12-year-old girl cried that she wanted to go to school, but her family forced her to marry a 19-year-old "husband", threatening to "kill her" if she disobeyed.

    In another typical case of child marriage, a 15-year-old girl in Maharashtra was sold by her family to a 50-year-old widower to take care of her children.

    According to the Times of India, during the lockdown, **children** handled at least 10,000 child rights incidents, of which 5,584 were child marriages. Thirty-nine per cent of female victims were between the ages of 11 and 15, and 60 per cent were over 16 and under 18 years old. According to some local child rights workers, the number of child marriages in their jurisdictions during the lockdown surged by 60% compared to the same period last year.

    It is very common and a very serious problem, and in the Indian religion it is believed that the sooner a child marries, the more the parents will go to heaven after a hundred years, and vice versa. Also, because of poverty, sending children to get married when they are young can also increase the family's income.
