Solution

The correct option is A True
Bride trafficking is the practice of selling and buying girl bride against her will for the purpose of marriage. This derogatory practice has resulted in a decreasing number of females over males. In 1956 Suppression of Immoral Traffic in Women and Girls Act was passed by the Parliament which was later amended and changed in 1986 to Immoral Traffic Prevention Act. It prohibits trafficking in human beings and provides punishment for persons doing so or engaged in such activities. The Act defines "trafficking", "child", "brothels" and other related terms.
