About The Book: Infant Marriage and Enforced Widowhood in India by Behramji M. Malabari is a powerful social reform treatise written in the late 19th century. Malabari critiques the widespread practices of child marriage and the harsh treatment of widows in Hindu society. He exposes the physical, emotional, and moral harm inflicted on young girls forced into early marriages, often followed by lifelong widowhood if their husbands die. Malabari appeals to both Indian reformers and British colonial authorities, urging legislative and societal change. His work played a key role in sparking public debate and influenced later reforms aimed at protecting women and children.
