Why is NHRC seeking a report on the 'sale of underage girls' in relation to 'Nata Pratha'
National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) asks for a report on the 'sale of underage girls' as part of 'Nata Pratha'.
- 'Nata Pratha' refers to a custom prevalent in parts of Rajasthan where underage girls are married off in exchange for money.
- NHRC is seeking a report on this practice to investigate the violation of human rights, especially the rights of the girl children involved.
- The practice of 'Nata Pratha' leads to underage girls being treated as commodities and deprived of their right to education, health, and a normal childhood.
- NHRC aims to address the issue of child marriage and trafficking, protect the rights of these vulnerable girls, and recommend measures to prevent such harmful practices.
