Question:

In which year was the Child Marriage Restraint Act passed in India?

Options:

1929

1931

1935

1933

Correct Answer:

1929

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - 1929

The Child Marriage Restraint Act was passed in India in 1929 with the objective of curbing the practice of child marriage. It aimed to prevent the solemnization of marriages where either the groom or the bride is underage. The act set a minimum age for marriage, which was later revised in subsequent legislation. The enactment of this law was a significant step towards protecting the rights and well-being of children, particularly young girls, by addressing the harmful consequences associated with child marriage.
