It was a common practice to marry the younge girls to the elderly males or to solemnise marriage of the minors. This evil practice affected adversely the mental and physical health of the boys and the girls. It was Swami Dayanand Saraswati who raised his voice against such unmatched and child marriage. On Dec. 10, 1903 Alwar state enacted the anti unmatched and child marriage act. The Royal families adhered to this act strictly.
