Increasing Women's Minimum Age for Marriage: Will it Prevent Child Marriage?
The QuintIndia is still struggling to put an end to child marriages in the 21st century. But is raising the minimum legal age of marriage for women the solution? Ever since the Centre indicated its intention, to raise the minimum age of marriage for women from 18 to 21 years of age, there has been a lot of conversation around this move. Although details of the panel's report isn't available in the public domain yet, the main rationale for this proposal has been to address the physiological and psychological issues that arise from child marriages in the form of early pregnancies, poor nutrition levels, high infant mortality rate, high maternal mortality rates, etc — all of which are ultimately deleterious for women's progress.
