Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
The movement to end child marriage gained traction as more women's organisations and publications on these topics began to be organised and written. Child marriage was a long-standing custom that was in question. Several Indian representatives campaigned in the Central Legislative Assembly for a bill to abolish child marriage. The Child Marriage Restraint Act of 1929 was approved without the intense debates and controversies preceding laws addressing the practice of child marriage. The Act prohibited marriage between men under the age of 18 and women under the age of 16. These restrictions were later increased to 21 for men and 18 for women.
Hence, the correct answer is the Child Restraint Marriage Act was passed in 1929.
