Revival: Child Marriage: The Indian Minotaur (1934)

The newly issued Indian Census Report for 1931 contains many disquieting revelations, but none more so than the huge increase in child marriage and the continuing enormous mortality of women due to premature maternity, bad midwifery, purdah and kindred social evils. This book exposes the futility of the steps hitherto taken to cope with child marriage, and then discusses remedies.
