Maharashtra child rights commission proposes birth dates on wedding invitations
Maharashtra's child rights commission has suggested a new rule: wedding invitations should list the birth dates of both the bride and groom.
The goal is to help stop child marriages, taking inspiration from a similar move in Rajasthan.
The commission, led by Sanjay Vishnu Puranik, also called for more awareness campaigns so people know the risks and laws around underage marriage.
