Child marriage widely prevalent: govt report

Child marriage 'norm in India' (AFP via Gulf Daily News, Bahrain)

A health ministry report found that "half of all women aged 20-24 years were married by the time they were 15 years and in contrast few young males are married in adolescence."

"In the large north Indian states such as Rajasthan and Bihar, 68 to 71 per cent of girls were married off by age 18 but in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, this percentage was 17 and 25, respectively," the report said.

It also warned that more and more teenagers were engaging in unprotected sex. It found that a large number of teenagers don't know the correct way to use a condom.

How many ways are there of using a condom? Are we raising a generation of idiots?
