India : Government set to revise women’s legal age for marriage to 21

[Vapnope]

It is a sinister move to reduce population.

Even that is a master move. We (us, you or anyone else) doesn't need so many people when resources are not infinite.

In most countries women can marry by age of 16 with Judicial consent. Almost all EU countries practice this age limit for women. For men 18 is the age for most countries. Even in Australia women can marry by age of 16 if they get judicial consent.

Most couples in south Asia marry between age of 20-30 so such legal age limits are nothing but publicity stunts by India.

It will encourage parents to send their kids to college. You can't marry her off at 18, within 3 years you get a degree.

Okay you got a point I'll give you that.

Indian Muslims follow Muslim personal law. Marriage falls under Muslim personal law (Sharia).

Not for long.

 

[Raj-Hindustani]

Rubbish? Make logical arguments. It's not about getting everyone to collage, but millions of women who wanted to go to a college but couldn't do so because of pressure back home. That is when you complete senior schools, you will be 17-18 and are soon getting married. Not to mention those getting married before 18 which is quite high.

21 is the right age, in fact, in many countries, it's the legal age for women to marry. Now, if they become call center operatives great, I mean earning 15-20 k a month is not bad for a women and I'd have no problem with a lady getting a call center job than sit at home and cook. Maybe that's what you think women should do.

Agreed! it will force parents to provide higher education to girls as same as boys in India.

You Hindus can go ahead and increase age limit to 50 years. No one cares.

Legal age of marriage does not does not fall under Muslim personal law.

 

[HalfMoon]

Not for long.

Muslims will never agree to the implementation of UCC unless UCC is based on Sharia.

 

[HalfMoon]

Legal age of marriage does not does not fall under Muslim personal law.

Sharia already provides guidance to Muslims on when to marry.

Why should Muslims follow some arbitrary age that Hindus come up with.

 

[Vikram1]

Muslims should ask for an exemption.

This move is nothing but to control the population.

Women over 30 are not fit to give birth. They are increasing the age to decrease the population.

Muslim woman are allowed to get married if they are mature. There is no need to follow this artificial age requirement.

Any how UCC is going to implement India very soon. No special treatment to any religion at all.
India will run on IPC not sharia.

 

[Vikram1]

Muslims will never agree to the implementation of UCC unless UCC is based on Sharia.

Who is asking advice from advocate of Sharia at all?
UCC is going to implemented in India very soon.

Then brace for bigger protests and wrath of Indian Muslims like seen recently in Delhi and Bangalore.

Okay carry on, but UCC is certain.

So? What happened? What has Delhi riot achieved? Nothing.
If anyone wish to live in Secular Democratic Republic of India, they will have to follow this pattern -
1. Country (Desh Bhakti)
2. Parents (Mata-Pita)
3. Teachers (Gurus, leaders)
4. Religion (optional)

Your agreement is not needed.

Just like how Muslim women have already started filing cases against their husbands for using triple talaq and their husbands are being put in jail, so too will provisions of UCC be used.
