Our government has legalized the age for marriage in boys and girls. Give reasons as to why one should get married after a certain age.


In India minimum age for boys to get married is 21 years and girls is 18 years. Teenage mothers are not mentally or physically prepared to carry a child and this may affect the health of both child and mother. They have not that much capacity to hold the responsibility of motherhood. Besides their career, employment will be affected. Similarly, teenage boys cannot take the family responsibilities, at that age they are not matured enough for parenthood as well as not financially well settled to take responsibility for their family. Their career will also be affected. So Government of India has passed a law that boys and girls should marry after a certain age.
