Pregnant Minor
Prevent teen pregnancies
India is one of the ten countries with the largest number of teenage pregnancies in the world. The latest National Family Health Survey reveals that 17.5 % of urban women and 31.5% of rural women are married before the age of 18. State-wise data reveals that four out of 10 girls in West Bengal are married before 18 years. Despite a substantial reduction in the prevalence of early marriage nationally, childbearing at this age has declined only marginally— that is, from 35.7% to 31%.
