Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A Women lose their right to education.
B Women lose liberty.
D People believe that if two people know each other from childhood they will have a better understanding.

Child Marriage was a social evil that was prevalent in Ancient India. People believed that if two people knew each other right from childhood, they would have an enhanced understanding and affection between them. Girls were married at as young an age as eight. This caused many problems such as women losing rights to education and liberty, considered basic in the development of a human being. Without the basic rights, there was a big gender disparity, and women had to live in a society where their development was hampered.
