Due to this pandemic situation, many parents are affected economically. So they simply wants to finish their commitment instead make them to educated person so the chance of child marriage is mostly reduced when this act is successfully passed in the government.

By my understanding, due to this increasing age of marriage a women can complete their studies. Instead of completing schooling they are also able to study atleast a degree. A women can realise herself after completing her teenage only. I believe in that as a women.

Government foolishly thinks that raising the marriage age to 21 would bring down population of India.

I have seen many examples of early age marriages in my own family. One of the major reason behind this is Illiteracy and Poverty. Many child marriages took place during covid as the number of people allowed was very low. And people are not aware of the cons of the early age marriages

May be I'm not sure with if it is true means I will be very happy, the child abusement is considered to one or before of age 18 and when the person abused children means they are strictly punished, still now it's followed.

According to this act, if the marriage age increases to 21means, if a person misbehave a child on or before 21 means they are also severally punished right.

Girls as young as 16 & 18 is forced into marriage without someone who is old enough to be her father. Do this people have any idea how traumatic their life will be right now.Let girls do whatever they want, if you want not going to force marriage on boys, you have no right to do the same on any girls.

Actually the reason behind this is a girl reaches puberty fairly by the age of 12 to 15. Boys are somewhat late here. The estrogen hormone which is released in the females body in abundance after puberty makes her responsible, as now she can bear a child. Bearing a child needs lot of patience boys ! Medical Science Says the best age to be a mother is 18 to 23.

I liked the thing, which our government had been announced . Most of the parents forced their girl child for marriage on that time their were not fully developed by physically and mentally .And their dream to become independent were also left.I totally agree,now girls will complete their education and become independent person.

Everyone should welcome such reforms because Women are regarded as the soul of society. They are the self-empowered and self-trained segment of the human population which is responsible for raising moral values and overall development of their children and family. Educated and successful women are a great Inspiration for the family and a leading example.

One of the great aspirations of India in 21st century is to become the next super power of the world . This is not possible by keeping almost 30% population at home. We must encourage women’s participation in politics, workforce and at all the platforms . We do not need to make women stronger. They are already strong. We just need to change the way we discern their strength. So, these type of reforms in our society is very important.

Child marriage puts an end to a child's childhood. It has a harmful impact on children's rights to education, health, and safety. A girl who is married while she is young is more likely to drop out of school, not work, and not contribute to her community.

Is this maturity is depends upon the age?

I'm not thinking so. There is nothing going to be change until Change ourself. Government should not notice each and every house separately. We must aware to enter in a new life. So girls enjoys your life as what you need. Be responsible before enter into commitments. Trust yourself
