Q.why did reformers promote education for women and ban child marriage

Answer 1

The Scientific Society was established by Sayyid Ahmed Khan. This society was started in order to promote liberal, modern education and Western scientific knowledge in the Muslim community in India.


1) Reformers felt that changes were necessary in society, and unjust practices like Sati and child marriage against women needed to be done away with.
2) They thought that the best way to ensure such changes was by persuading people to give up old practices and adopt a new way of life.
3) Hence they insisted the promotion of education for women and banned child marriage.
