During a marriage ceremony in your village, you learn that it is a child marriage. What is the most responsible step to take?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer to this question is "Report child marriage to the authorities or child protection organizations."

Child marriage is a legal offense, and as a conscious citizen, seeking the help of legal institutions is the best way to prevent it.

Reporting child protection organizations, the police, or local authorities (such as Childline 1098 or the Gram Panchayat) ensures that the marriage is stopped safely and within the ambit of the law. The authorities have the legal authority and proper training to deal with such cases.
