Police in Assam have arrested more than 1 800 men for marrying or arranging marriages to underage girls, launching what the eastern Indian state’s chief minister said on Friday was the start of a sustained crackdown on the practice.

Police began the arrests on Thursday night and more were likely, including of people helping to register such marriages in temples and mosques, Himanta Biswa Sarma said.

Marriage under 18 is illegal in India, but the law is openly flouted. The United Nations estimates that the country is home to the largest number of child brides in the world at around 223 million.
