14. Major POLE

asked the Secretary of State for India if he can give information showing in which of the Indian States legislation has been enacted similar or comparable to the Child Marriage Restraint Act which recently came into force in British India?

Mr. BENN

I have seen references to the enactment of comparable legislation in certain Indian States, but I have no detailed or comprehensive information on the subject.
