The Maharashtra government is “under reporting” incidents of child marriage and is not doing enough to stop it, says a performance audit of the social sector in the state by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India.
The CAG had audited the implementation of the Prevention of Child Marriage Act, 2006, over the last three years.
