&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Women in Delhi are least likely to get married before reaching the age of 18 while those in Jharkhand are most likely.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
India&#039;s Capital recorded the lowest percentage of women (0.5%) who got married before 18 years of age in 2010 followed by Haryana (0.7%) and Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir (0.9%), according to the Registrar General of India&#039;s latest Sample Registration System (SRS) survey, submitted to the Union health ministry on Saturday.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Jharkhand recorded the highest percentage of women (13%) who got married before the legal age of marriage followed by Rajasthan (10.1), West Bengal (8.2%).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
An average woman in India in 2010 got married at 21 years of age. The percentage of women who got married before the age of 18 was nearly three times higher in rural India (6%) compared to urban (2.4%). Interestingly, there has been a 61% decline in the percentage of women getting married before 18 years of age between 2001-2010 (12.7% to 5%). In 2001, nearly eight states recorded under 18 marriage to the tune of 10% and above. In comparison, in 2010, only two states recorded such high rates of under-18 marriage - Jharkhand and Rajasthan.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Some states have witnessed a drastic dip in under-18 marriage - Andhra Pradesh from 12.7% in 2001 to 4% in 2010, Assam (11.7% to 3.4%), Karnataka (15.8% to 3.6%), Madhya Pradesh (25.3% to 4%) and West Bengal (18.2% to 8.2%).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Some larger states recorded a minor dip - Maharashtra (6.4% in 2001 to 4% in 2010), UP (8.4% to 5.4%) and Kerala (3.5 to 2.2).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Percentage of females marrying at 21 and above is 48.8 nationally and varies from 36.7 in Rajasthan to 81.7 in Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
More than half of the rural females in India married between 18 and 20 years of age compared to about one-third in urban areas.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
One of the biggest problems with early marriage is that it leads to early childbirth. The State of the World&#039;s Children report 2012 released by Unicef recently said almost 22% women in India, who are now aged between 20 and 24 years gave birth to a child before they turned 18.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to Unicef, more than 40% of the world&#039;s child marriages still occur in India. Worldwide, more than 60 million women between 20 and 24 years were married before they turned 18.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Child brides become mothers much before their bodies are physically mature,&amp;quot; Unicef said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The issue was also taken up recently by the World Health Organization last month in Geneva. WHO said half the girls in early marriage live in south-east Asia.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to the Union health ministry&#039;s Family Welfare Statistics 2011, for every woman aged below 18 getting married in urban centres, three women are doing so in rural areas.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Women in Delhi are least likely to get married before reaching the age of 18 while those in Jharkhand are most likely.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
India&#039;s Capital recorded the lowest percentage of women (0.5%) who got married before 18 years of age in 2010 followed by Haryana (0.7%) and Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir (0.9%), according to the Registrar General of India&#039;s latest Sample Registration System (SRS) survey, submitted to the Union health ministry on Saturday.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Jharkhand recorded the highest percentage of women (13%) who got married before the legal age of marriage followed by Rajasthan (10.1), West Bengal (8.2%).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
An average woman in India in 2010 got married at 21 years of age. The percentage of women who got married before the age of 18 was nearly three times higher in rural India (6%) compared to urban (2.4%). Interestingly, there has been a 61% decline in the percentage of women getting married before 18 years of age between 2001-2010 (12.7% to 5%). In 2001, nearly eight states recorded under 18 marriage to the tune of 10% and above. In comparison, in 2010, only two states recorded such high rates of under-18 marriage - Jharkhand and Rajasthan.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Some states have witnessed a drastic dip in under-18 marriage - Andhra Pradesh from 12.7% in 2001 to 4% in 2010, Assam (11.7% to 3.4%), Karnataka (15.8% to 3.6%), Madhya Pradesh (25.3% to 4%) and West Bengal (18.2% to 8.2%).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Some larger states recorded a minor dip - Maharashtra (6.4% in 2001 to 4% in 2010), UP (8.4% to 5.4%) and Kerala (3.5 to 2.2).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Percentage of females marrying at 21 and above is 48.8 nationally and varies from 36.7 in Rajasthan to 81.7 in Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
More than half of the rural females in India married between 18 and 20 years of age compared to about one-third in urban areas.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
One of the biggest problems with early marriage is that it leads to early childbirth. The State of the World&#039;s Children report 2012 released by Unicef recently said almost 22% women in India, who are now aged between 20 and 24 years gave birth to a child before they turned 18.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to Unicef, more than 40% of the world&#039;s child marriages still occur in India. Worldwide, more than 60 million women between 20 and 24 years were married before they turned 18.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Child brides become mothers much before their bodies are physically mature,&amp;quot; Unicef said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The issue was also taken up recently by the World Health Organization last month in Geneva. WHO said half the girls in early marriage live in south-east Asia.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to the Union health ministry&#039;s Family Welfare Statistics 2011, for every woman aged below 18 getting married in urban centres, three women are doing so in rural areas.

Women in Delhi are least likely to get married before reaching the age of 18 while those in Jharkhand are most likely.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
India&#039;s Capital recorded the lowest percentage of women (0.5%) who got married before 18 years of age in 2010 followed by Haryana (0.7%) and Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir (0.9%), according to the Registrar General of India&#039;s latest Sample Registration System (SRS) survey, submitted to the Union health ministry on Saturday.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Jharkhand recorded the highest percentage of women (13%) who got married before the legal age of marriage followed by Rajasthan (10.1), West Bengal (8.2%).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
An average woman in India in 2010 got married at 21 years of age. The percentage of women who got married before the age of 18 was nearly three times higher in rural India (6%) compared to urban (2.4%).

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Some states have witnessed a drastic dip in under-18 marriage - Andhra Pradesh from 12.7% in 2001 to 4% in 2010, Assam (11.7% to 3.4%), Karnataka (15.8% to 3.6%), Madhya Pradesh (25.3% to 4%) and West Bengal (18.2% to 8.2%).

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Some larger states recorded a minor dip - Maharashtra (6.4% in 2001 to 4% in 2010), UP (8.4% to 5.4%) and Kerala (3.5 to 2.2).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
More than half of the rural females in India married between 18 and 20 years of age compared to about one-third in urban areas.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Women in Delhi are least likely to get married before reaching the age of 18 while those in Jharkhand are most likely.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
India&#039;s Capital recorded the lowest percentage of women (0.5%) who got married before 18 years of age in 2010 followed by Haryana (0.7%) and Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir (0.9%), according to the Registrar General of India&#039;s latest Sample Registration System (SRS) survey, submitted to the Union health ministry on Saturday.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Jharkhand recorded the highest percentage of women (13%) who got married before the legal age of marriage followed by Rajasthan (10.1), West Bengal (8.2%).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
An average woman in India in 2010 got married at 21 years of age. The percentage of women who got married before the age of 18 was nearly three times higher in rural India (6%) compared to urban (2.4%). Interestingly, there has been a 61% decline in the percentage of women getting married before 18 years of age between 2001-2010 (12.7% to 5%). In 2001, nearly eight states recorded under 18 marriage to the tune of 10% and above. In comparison, in 2010, only two states recorded such high rates of under-18 marriage - Jharkhand and Rajasthan.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Some states have witnessed a drastic dip in under-18 marriage - Andhra Pradesh from 12.7% in 2001 to 4% in 2010, Assam (11.7% to 3.4%), Karnataka (15.8% to 3.6%), Madhya Pradesh (25.3% to 4%) and West Bengal (18.2% to 8.2%).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Some larger states recorded a minor dip - Maharashtra (6.4% in 2001 to 4% in 2010), UP (8.4% to 5.4%) and Kerala (3.5 to 2.2).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Percentage of females marrying at 21 and above is 48.8 nationally and varies from 36.7 in Rajasthan to 81.7 in Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
More than half of the rural females in India married between 18 and 20 years of age compared to about one-third in urban areas.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
One of the biggest problems with early marriage is that it leads to early childbirth. The State of the World&#039;s Children report 2012 released by Unicef recently said almost 22% women in India, who are now aged between 20 and 24 years gave birth to a child before they turned 18.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to Unicef, more than 40% of the world&#039;s child marriages still occur in India. Worldwide, more than 60 million women between 20 and 24 years were married before they turned 18.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Child brides become mothers much before their bodies are physically mature,&amp;quot; Unicef said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The issue was also taken up recently by the World Health Organization last month in Geneva. WHO said half the girls in early marriage live in south-east Asia.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to the Union health ministry&#039;s Family Welfare Statistics 2011, for every woman aged below 18 getting married in urban centres, three women are doing so in rural areas.

In comparison, in 2010, only two states recorded such high rates of under-18 marriage - Jharkhand and Rajasthan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Some states have witnessed a drastic dip in under-18 marriage - Andhra Pradesh from 12.7% in 2001 to 4% in 2010, Assam (11.7% to 3.4%), Karnataka (15.8% to 3.6%), Madhya Pradesh (25.3% to 4%) and West Bengal (18.2% to 8.2%).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Some larger states recorded a minor dip - Maharashtra (6.4% in 2001 to 4% in 2010), UP (8.4% to 5.4%) and Kerala (3.5 to 2.2).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Percentage of females marrying at 21 and above is 48.8 nationally and varies from 36.7 in Rajasthan to 81.7 in Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;More than half of the rural females in India married between 18 and 20 years of age compared to about one-third in urban areas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;One of the biggest problems with early marriage is that it leads to early childbirth.

	&#039;description&#039; =&gt; &#039;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Women in Delhi are least likely to get married before reaching the age of 18 while those in Jharkhand are most likely.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
India&#039;s Capital recorded the lowest percentage of women (0.5%) who got married before 18 years of age in 2010 followed by Haryana (0.7%) and Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir (0.9%), according to the Registrar General of India&#039;s latest Sample Registration System (SRS) survey, submitted to the Union health ministry on Saturday.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Jharkhand recorded the highest percentage of women (13%) who got married before the legal age of marriage followed by Rajasthan (10.1), West Bengal (8.2%).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
An average woman in India in 2010 got married at 21 years of age. The percentage of women who got married before the age of 18 was nearly three times higher in rural India (6%) compared to urban (2.4%). Interestingly, there has been a 61% decline in the percentage of women getting married before 18 years of age between 2001-2010 (12.7% to 5%). In 2001, nearly eight states recorded under 18 marriage to the tune of 10% and above. In comparison, in 2010, only two states recorded such high rates of under-18 marriage - Jharkhand and Rajasthan.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Some states have witnessed a drastic dip in under-18 marriage - Andhra Pradesh from 12.7% in 2001 to 4% in 2010, Assam (11.7% to 3.4%), Karnataka (15.8% to 3.6%), Madhya Pradesh (25.3% to 4%) and West Bengal (18.2% to 8.2%).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Some larger states recorded a minor dip - Maharashtra (6.4% in 2001 to 4% in 2010), UP (8.4% to 5.4%) and Kerala (3.5 to 2.2).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Percentage of females marrying at 21 and above is 48.8 nationally and varies from 36.7 in Rajasthan to 81.7 in Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
More than half of the rural females in India married between 18 and 20 years of age compared to about one-third in urban areas.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
One of the biggest problems with early marriage is that it leads to early childbirth. The State of the World&#039;s Children report 2012 released by Unicef recently said almost 22% women in India, who are now aged between 20 and 24 years gave birth to a child before they turned 18.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to Unicef, more than 40% of the world&#039;s child marriages still occur in India. Worldwide, more than 60 million women between 20 and 24 years were married before they turned 18.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Child brides become mothers much before their bodies are physically mature,&amp;quot; Unicef said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The issue was also taken up recently by the World Health Organization last month in Geneva. WHO said half the girls in early marriage live in south-east Asia.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to the Union health ministry&#039;s Family Welfare Statistics 2011, for every woman aged below 18 getting married in urban centres, three women are doing so in rural areas.

Jharkhand recorded the highest percentage of women (13%) who got married before the legal age of marriage followed by Rajasthan (10.1), West Bengal (8.2%). An average woman in India in 2010 got married at 21 years of age. The percentage of women who got married before the age of 18 was nearly three times higher in rural India (6%) compared to urban (2.4%). Interestingly, there has been a 61% decline in the percentage of women getting married before 18 years of age between 2001-2010 (12.7% to 5%). In 2001, nearly eight states recorded under 18 marriage to the tune of 10% and above. In comparison, in 2010, only two states recorded such high rates of under-18 marriage - Jharkhand and Rajasthan. Some states have witnessed a drastic dip in under-18 marriage - Andhra Pradesh from 12.7% in 2001 to 4% in 2010, Assam (11.7% to 3.4%), Karnataka (15.8% to 3.6%), Madhya Pradesh (25.3% to 4%) and West Bengal (18.2% to 8.2%). Some larger states recorded a minor dip - Maharashtra (6.4% in 2001 to 4% in 2010), UP (8.4% to 5.4%) and Kerala (3.5 to 2.2). Percentage of females marrying at 21 and above is 48.8 nationally and varies from 36.7 in Rajasthan to 81.7 in Jammu & Kashmir. More than half of the rural females in India married between 18 and 20 years of age compared to about one-third in urban areas. One of the biggest problems with early marriage is that it leads to early childbirth. The State of the World's Children report 2012 released by Unicef recently said almost 22% women in India, who are now aged between 20 and 24 years gave birth to a child before they turned 18. According to Unicef, more than 40% of the world's child marriages still occur in India. Worldwide, more than 60 million women between 20 and 24 years were married before they turned 18. "Child brides become mothers much before their bodies are physically mature," Unicef said. The issue was also taken up recently by the World Health Organization last month in Geneva. WHO said half the girls in early marriage live in south-east Asia. According to the Union health ministry's Family Welfare Statistics 2011, for every woman aged below 18 getting married in urban centres, three women are doing so in rural areas.
