Furnishing details, NCW chairperson Girija Vyas said 73 per cent girls under 18 marry in Madhya Pradesh followed by Rajasthan 68 per cent, Bihar 67 per cent and Uttar Pradesh 64 per cent.
She described the incidence as alarming and said that in Andhra Pradesh too 71 per cent girls tied the knot while still below 18.
