India has the largest number of
child brides in the world — one
third of the global total.1
Yet, recent data indicates that
in the last decade there has
been a significant decline in the
prevalence of child marriage
from 47 per cent to 27 per cent
of the proportion of women aged
20-24 yea...rs who were married
before age 18 from 2005/2006

however, mask realities at the
district level, and despite the
overall decline, a few districts
continue to have very high rates

continue to be in the range of 47
per cent to 51 per cent).
