"Dr Ali further said, [C]hild marriage or marriage of the non-adults remain a dangerous practice in char-chapori areas. For the immigrant Muslims, girls are forced to get married at the age of 12–14, as if this becomes their main agenda of social reforms. Girls are forced to get married at an early stage and they become mother of two-three children at a very tender age. As a result their health never recovers. Majority of them suffer from malnutrition and anaemia. Their life cycle is also very less. Majority of the women are exploited, subju- gated and neglected … in addition domestic violence, abuses are day-to-day phenomenon of the Muslim immigrant women. Currently, they are also becoming the main source of income for the family. Women daily-wage earners have been disproportionately increasing. In cities like Guwahati and other metros, the immigrant women-labourers with kids at their lap come regularly along with male counterparts to work as daily-wage earners."
