By treating the day not just as a festival but as a moment of vigilance, Bengaluru is sending out a clear message: Childhood is not for marriage—it's for said, 'Under Section 13(4) and 13(5) of the amended law, the District Magistrate is empowered to act as the Child Marriage Prohibition Officer with the authority to take all necessary steps—including the use of minimum force where required—to prevent the solemnisation of child marriages, particularly on high-risk days like Akshaya Tritiya.'He said that despite awareness efforts and sensitisation campaigns, authorities acknowledge that child marriages still occur in some pockets—often due to lack of awareness or failure to notify officials.
