There was an intense discussion conducted by the moderators – on as to how child marriage impacts the society socially, politically and economically, what drives people to commit the condemnable act, how could the victims, especially girls, save themselves from this menace, and steps that could be taken to demolish the crime. Few of the panellists also talked about their parents’ experiences, who had been victims of this crime.

All panellists, members of the audience and guardians enthusiastically participated throughout and at the end came to the conclusion that child marriage is not only a threat to India, but to the whole world, and that hence it needs to be immediately eradicated—which can be done without fail by implementing the measures considered during the discussion.
