Read our privacy policy After more than 70 years, the global Miss Universe pageant is making “inclusive” changes to its selection process. Before the rule change, only women between the ages of 18 and 28 who had never been married and had no children, were allowed to compete for Miss Universe. “There are a lot of women that got married young or had kids in their early 20s and they always wanted to participate in Miss Universe but couldn’t because of the rules,” Meza added. “Now those women can start or boost their careers in entertainment because of these changes.” Last year’s Miss Universe pageant was won by India’s Harnaaz Sandhu.
