भारता मध्ये देवदासी पद्धत एक धार्मिक प्रथा म्हणून प्रचलित आहे. योग्य पर्याय निवडा.

The correct answer is Option D (All the above).

Key Points:
• Devadasi System and Legal Protections:
• Violation of Human Rights: Forcing young women and minor girls into dedication violates their basic human right to dignity, bodily autonomy, and life.
• Violation of Fundamental Rights: It directly infringes upon Article 21 (Right to Life and Personal Dignity), Article 14 (Equality before law), and Article 15 (Prohibition of discrimination).
• Human Trafficking: Under Article 23 of the Constitution, *traffic in human beings and begar and other similar forms of forced labour are prohibited*. The Supreme Court has held that dedicating girls as Devadasis amounts to commercial sexual exploitation and human trafficking.
• State Legislation: Maharashtra enacted the *Maharashtra Devadasi (Abolition of Dedication) Act, 2005* declaring any dedication void and punishable.
• Hence, all statements are true.
• Key Takeaway: The Devadasi practice violates women's human rights, breaches Fundamental Rights (Arts. 21 and 23), and constitutes human trafficking.
