Frequently Asked Questions (Officially Sourced)

Verified answers sourced directly from official circulars, gazettes, and portal FAQs. Never AI-invented.

Why is the financial assistance deposited in the mother's account?

To ensure financial empowerment of women and prevent diversion of wedding funds, the money is strictly credited to the bride's mother.

Source: Official Scheme FAQ ↗

How did the scheme eradicate child marriages?

Because the ₹1,00,116 grant is legally conditional on the bride having completed 18 years of age, families eagerly wait until daughters turn 18 before arranging marriages.

Source: Official Scheme FAQ ↗

Can divorced or widowed women remarrying claim the grant?

The grant is provided once for the bride's marriage.
