The marriage age at 18 was set in 1978
Increasing the age for marriage of women to 21 year will be going to have certain positive points and negative points
POSITIVE POINTS -
1. Womens will be able to get higher education through which they will be aware about their rights
2. Through increasing the age of women for women Maternal mortality rate will slow down because there will be more chances of increasing in the nutritional level of women
3. Through increasing the age of women for marriage infant mortality rate will slow down because it is directly connected with maternal Health
4. Child marriages will have more reduced through such type of initiative
5. It will also help to reduce poverty because women will be able to get employment because of their higher qualification
NEGATIVE
1. Such type of initiative by government would push a larger proportion of the population into illegal marriage
2. Some parts of society will not be ready to accept this because of their culture and religion
According to Prohibition of child marriage act ,2006 ,SC has increases the age of marriage for women from 18years to 21 years ..It will has both pros and cons .
PROS:)
1.they could get opportunities for better and suffiently required education
2.for better family planning girl should b mature enough
3. It will help in controlling the population.
4. Could feed her family in better way .
5.it will also reduce the divorse cases.
CONS:)
1.Rape cases may increase
2.crimilasation of large number of marriages
3.Difficulity in fighting child marriages
Now their is a need of awarness programs on massive scale to spread the awarness of increase in age of marriage and to encourage the social acceptace of new legislation .
Traditional Indian marriages are always celebrate like a festival in indian culture in which all the family members shares their happiness but in this they forget that the girl is happy with it? There are many circumstances in which a girl married and some of them are negative too. So according to me increasing age of marriage is quite right because it help in many areas:-
1.Reduce Burden of marriage from girls :Most of the girls want to become and done something in their life but after graduation they have to get married because of family pressure.
2.Many elight jobs are start their entrance from age of 21 so now girls have time to prepare for it without any resistance.
3.There are many biological reasons also who concern about marriage in 18.
4.It also increase the contribution of girls in indian economy.
But there are negative effects also :-
1. Swiftly Increment in child marriage in India which is in control now a days.
2. Concern for girls will increase as india have male dominated society and rate of marriages is already low, this also increase the harassment cases against girls.
3.Main problem is acceptance of society because we have tribal communities also.
Overall if we conclude, the initiative is very good for the society and we have to appreciate it because if we give appropriate time to a boy for make their courier than this also our responsibility to give same opportunities and time to girl also , than india will become a "nation of equality".
This is a very good decision of government to increase women merriage age because in women case when women become 18 year old family can start pressuring women for merriage after this decision women get some more time to focus on their carrier and family can stop pressuring women for merriage but if this decision have their some advantages and disadvantage
- advantages is
1 women get some more time focus on their carrier
2- reduce pressure merriage on women
3- women give contribution in economy
4- they are eligible for better government job like upsc
- negative is
1- harassment case can be increased
2- according to society thinking this decision can increase burden on family.
Overall this decision is good for women and this government decision we appreciate this and this is responsibility of our family and society to give equal time to women and boys to make their carrier and stop makeing difference in male and female
"women's age of marriage was increased from 15 to 18 years in 1978, by amending the erstwhile Sharda act of 1929. As India progresses further, opportunities open up for women to pursue higher education and careers"- This is what finance minster NIRMALA SITHARAMAN had said in the union budget for 2021-22. The union cabinet on December 15 stepped in with the decision to increase the legal age of marriage for women from 18 to 21 years. Interestingly, the decision has brought the age of marriage for both men and women at par.
According to me it's some pros are as follows:-
1. A woman married at the age of 18, faces an unbearable pressure to conceive despite knowing it's repercussions. According to WHO reports, adolescent mother face higher risks of maternal health Problems, disabilities and death, reinforcing Risking problems for their new borns as compared to women aged of 20 to 24 years.
2. The immaturity and the lack of ability to deal with responsibilities at adolescence reflect badly on the mental health of a woman who is forced to run a family after getting married but this problem is not face with girl who enter in her adulthood.
3. It brings more opportunities to women of the nation and mark a revolutionary decision to ensure their better status in society.
4. Incomplete goals and dreams in life might lead to a clash and conflicts within the family further leading to low self-esteem and decreased confidence.
According to me I don't think that it has any negative points .
Conclusion of this is as follows:
Thus, the union cabinet's decision to raise the legal age of women will ensure better health of women in India as they will not have to suffer the pain and complications caused due to adolescent pregnancies. With the law improved, a girl can attain education by the age of 21 that can boost her confidence. Ultimately, with the educational background and confident approach, women can independent and lead a happy and prosperous like altogether.
"Marriage is a sacrament which implies respect, responsibilities, caring and growing together."
Therefore, the big decisions like marriage should be taken with maturity .Recently, the legal age for marriage for woman has been increased from 18 years to 21 years by amending the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act,2006 and other personal laws like Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 ,Special Marriage Act,1954 etc. As everything has it's pros and cons , the same happens with this concept too.
Pros:
1) Women and child welfare.
2) Abundance in goal oriented opportunities for women.
3) Women Empowerment and gender parity.
4) Decrease in family pressure related to marriage.
5) Avoidance of early stage pregnancy to some extent.
6) Reduced burden of carrying marriage
responsibilities at early age.
7) Strengthen the right to equality concept as of now both men and women legal age for marriage is identical.
Cons:
1) Difficulty in fighting child marriages.
2) criminalisation of a large no.of marriages.
3) Lack of education is a bigger problem as about 51% of young women in India are uneducated and about 47% with only primary education.
4) Increased paper work as now certain amendments are required for various acts.
Suggestions:
Although, the step is the utmost requirement for the institutions like marriage. Some of the suggestions which will strengthen the process would be as follows:
1) Boosting education among women.
2) Mass awareness programs are required.
3) Skills and business training among women.
4) Inculcating the values of gender equality among the society.
Marriage is always celebrating like a festival all relative are come together too bless the couples and shares the happiness. Marriage is playing a very crucial role in society because two different families are joining together.
Recently the women marriage age was increased to 19 to 21 which is having both pros and cons are :-
Pros :-
1. The girls who want too study further but due too the parients pressure they have too do marriage after this rule atleast they can do something too which they can proof too their parients that they are also capable too do some thing.
2. The quantity of working class women will increase which helps to improve economy.
In my openion i don't think their is any cons.
Marriage is a responsibility, as well as a relationship of caring and growing together. It teaches an individual to care for not only himself or herself, but also for their partner and his or her family. So, for this big decision, an individual's maturity is required, and other people's personal decisions are also taken into account in order to take this step.
The legal marriage age for women was recently raised from 18 to 21. by amending the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act of 2006 and other laws such as the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 and the Special Marriage Act of 1955. which is having both pros and cons :
pros:
1. Women of 18 years of age do not have the mature mindset to take on the responsibility of marriage; they are subjected to unfathomable pressures and problems in their lives.
2.Adolescent mothers have a higher risk of maternal health problems, disabilities, and death than older women.
Immaturity and a lack of responsibility in adolescence increase the risk of mental health problems for women who are forced to run a family, resulting in clashes and conflicts, whereas mature women have more stable mental health than them.
4.This also provides more opportunities for women by increasing women's empowerment and gender parity, as well as providing equality and strengthening the concept of the right to equality, since the legal age for men and women is the same.
5.This will benefit women who want to study and live independently, as well as increase the number of working women, which will aid in the improvement and growth of the economy. As a result, it benefits not only the individual but also the nation.
According to me, there are no negative implications, and the government's decision will improve the health and well-being of women in India.
The Prohibition of Child Marriage (Amendment) Bill, 2021, which seeks to raise the age of legal marriage for women from 18 to 21, will apply to all communities in the country and, once enacted, will supersede existing marriage and personal laws.
It's a great initiative towards Women Empowerment and Will play a huge role towards economy.
* As our country is moving towards capitalism , this act will lead to Increase Literacy Rate in women and will Increase Women Employment in every sector of our country
* We can take example of Bangladesh as it's GDP is currently Boosting at a Good Rate and one of the reason is increasing participation of women in it's Working Sector.
* Mostly Women are forced to marry after class 12 or Age 18, But now they can pursue for Higher Education and Will have Opportunities for Earning like Men, it will result in Gender Equality.
Pros:-
1.Economic Independence:
Early marriage of women deprives them of proper education and job prospects and thus economic independence.
2.Health issues:
Study shows that women who get married early of age are likely to deal with unwanted pregnancie
3.Domestic violence:
Getting married early increases the risk of domestic violence. women who are less educated and married between 15 to 19 years of age are more likely to be victims of domestic violence compared to more educated women
Maternal mortality rate decrease
Infant mortality rate also decrease
Cons:-
1.Child marriage rate increase .
2.Poverty:
Girls belonging to poor families are more likely to get married at an early age.
