Tamil Nadu. To begin with, it was the culmination of a parallel socio-economical movement due to the
impact of western education and study of political institutions. The changed attitude of the British
administration in granting constitutional reforms, motivated the aspirations of all the people. In an attempt
to compete with the Brahmin-dominated Madras Provincial Congress, the Non-Brahmin leaders projected
the problems of backward, weaker and depressed sections of the society. Through press propaganda, and
organizing conferences and meetings, the Non-Brahmin programme consolidated itself into a counter sociopolitical
movement. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : S.SELVAKUMAR, (2012). JUSTICE MINISTRY AND WOMEN CARE MEASURES. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. II, Issue.

The marriage age was increased from ten to twelve by the Age of Consent Act of 1891. This age limit was endorsed by the high class people.
