According to National Family Health Survey, 2015-16, Tripura ranks second in child marriages. Which State tops in child marriages ?
Answer: B
Among the states offered, the highest is West Bengal.
The National Family Health Survey 2015-16 (NFHS-4) measured child marriage as the share of women aged 20-24 who had married before 18. West Bengal stood at 41.6%, roughly four in ten, one of the highest rates in the country, and Tripura was also among the high-prevalence states.
Strictly, NFHS-4 put Bihar (42.5%) just ahead of West Bengal, but Bihar is not an option, so of the four West Bengal is the one at the top. Jharkhand came next at 37.9%, and Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh were lower still.
