    One of the best books on the topic. Anyone keen to understand the history of women right. Must read.

  2. Akanksha Jain –

    Great coverage of law aspects but at times it felt numbers and dates only. Good for law students.

    Roy’s work is both informative and thought-provoking. It will give you a new outlook on marriage in india

  4. Darshit Pokarna –

    Roy’s book provides a valuable perspective on the debates surrounding child marriage. It was enlightening to read about.

  5. Dayal Singh –

    The book does a great job on showing evolution of law from past. At some point it felt like dragging.

  6. Bhukya Sharun Rathod –

    While the content is essential, the presentation could be more accessible to a broader audience. A good effort.

  7. Aaryan Kumar Pandey –

    The author did a great job. The topic is very niche and might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

  8. Priyanshi Madan –

    I appreciated the historical analysis, but it could have been more engaging. Still, important information.

  9. Neelank Bihani –

    An academic read. I got lost in the legal jargon at times, but the core message about women’s rights was strong.

  10. Shantanu Gupta –

    Author has covered all the aspects of topic. But I felt its more academic and less reader friendly.

  11. Anees Ali –

    A significant contribution to understanding the evolution of women’s rights in India. Highly recommended!

    A detailed and well-researched look at the history of marriage age laws in India. Sometimes a bit dense, but overall insightful.

  13. Sanjana Sadhwani –

    A very niche topic. Only recommended for readers who have keen interest in this topic.

  14. Adarsh Kumar –

    This book opened my eyes to the historical context of marriage laws in India. A crucial, but somewhat dry, read.

  15. Siddhant –

    A comprehensive study, but at times I felt it was more focused on legal details than social impact. Good read though

    Shreya Roy, you have done a great job. The insights are amazing on the topic.

  17. Vinay Beniwal –

    It highlights social issues, though the detailed legal analysis might feel overwhelming at times. Still worth reading.

    The historical context is richly detailed. A must-read for understanding the complexities of Indian law.

    The book can be slow for a general reader but is invaluable for researchers and academics. It is insightful
