Assam is facing a significant challenge with child marriage, and the government is determined to tackle this issue.

In 2022-23, the teenage pregnancy rate in Assam reached an average of 16.16%, with Barpeta district topping the list at 28.30%. Alarmingly, Dhubri and South Salmara districts also reported high rates at 26.8% and Goalpara at 23.39%.
