Modi Government which is keen on Beti Bachao- Beti Padav is looking for legislation to see that the girls will be married only after the age of 21. Earlier the limit was 18. But child marriages are happening across the country.
Earlier last year, Narendra Modi announced that the government is looking into the issue of increasing the minimum age of marriage for women so that their health won’t get impacted. The Government dubbed the effort as women empowerment.
The main intention behind planning to increase the marriage age of women is to see that women won’t get affected by malnutrition and other issues. We are worried about the health of the women in the country, he said in the Independence speech.
Now the same was discussed yesterday by Modi the PM when he met the MPs and other lawmakers during the breakfast. All of them have agreed with the suggestion of Moid in the name of self-reliance to the girls.
This might become law soon.
