UNICEF reports that over 650 million women are married before the age of 18, with 1 in 5 girls married before turning 18. Child marriage is prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, but also in the United States and the United Kingdom. The report focuses on girls as the main victims of early marriage. Child marriage is defined as a marriage where at least one party is a child, but the definition is vague. The Convention on the Rights of the Child defines a child as “every human being below the age of eighteen years unless, under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier.” Despite international efforts to eliminate the practice, it remains predominant. The report aims to examine the current international human rights framework and its weaknesses, focusing on India’s domestic law, to identify the consequences of an insufficient international legal framework on a country’s legal obligations.
