Solution
The correct option is A 1947
The Devadasi system was abolished on 9 October, 1947, through the Madras Devadasi Act. The law gave Devadasis the legal right to marry. It also made it illegal to dedicate girls to Indian temples. This came to light due to the efforts of reformers like Dr. Muthulakshmi, Periyar E.V. Ramasamy, to name a few.
