MR. COZENS-HARDY (Norfolk, N.)

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether the Government of India have taken any steps with a view to the alteration of the Law as to enforcing cohabitation in the case of infant marriages?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JOHN GORST) (Chatham)

No communication has been received from the Government of India on the subject; but the Secretary of State has reason to believe that the Government of India has issued a circular letter calling for the opinions of the local Governments.
