Abstract
Child marriage is a menace of the humanity that has been prevailing since pre-historic times and prevails today in the present modern days of progress and advancement in science, technology and even ethics. Further it seems that there are no chances that this nuisance be eradicated from the world in near future as it is estimated that by 2030 at least 150 million girl children will be married before celebrating their18th birthday. The modern nations have devised laws to combat this trouble and have prescribed multiple types of punishments who cause or get engaged in child marriages. Along with national legislation, the international Law, mostly under the umbrella of United Nations, has strictly forbidden the underage marriages but this does not look like that it will be put to an end in near future. This paper analysis some major human rights instruments at international level that have been agreed upon the nations of the world.
