Im glad that the Union Minister accepted Congress party’s suggestion that the Bill for Prohibition of the Child Marriage (Amendment) Act 2021 should be sent to the Parliament Standing Committee. The government should listen to more views and ideas on prohibiting child marriage. pic.twitter.com/R4P2T0joIf
