One of the most prevalent forms of forced lifestyle is early marriage. Despite laws prohibiting child marriage, it remains a common practice in many parts of India. Girls as young as 12 or 13 are married off to men much older, often without their consent. This practice leads to a forced domestic life, where they are expected to manage household chores, care for children, and maintain family responsibilities, foregoing their education and personal aspirations.
