Marriage Age and Preperation Time…

Article in Quora.com by: Badhan Banerjee (PwBD OH)

Today, If you are in any African Country and Your Age Limit 15 to 35 years then you are young (Yuva)

If you are in INDIA and Your Age Limit 15 to 30 years then you are young (Yuva)

Do you know what ages fixed time to time for Yuva Girls in INDIA time to time.

Till 1927, it was 12 years for marriage of a Girl in India. The minimum age.

During 1927 to 1929 Sarda Act finalised and 12 years increased by 2 years only. Therefore, 14 years, The minimum age for marriage of a Girl in India implemented.

After, independence 1978 court has decided to fixed the minimum Age of a Girl for marriage therefore increased by 4 more years. Therefore, 18 years, The minimum age for marriage of a Girl in India implemented.

After, independence 2021 court has decided to fixed the minimum Age of a Girl for marriage therefore increased by 3 more years further. Therefore, 21 years, The minimum age for marriage of a Girl in India implemented.

Statistical analysis and progression may lead our nation to fix it further 2 years more..or 3 years more… that is another study.

Before,

c.1929 AD= 14 years

30 - 14= 16 years marriage preparation time span

c.1978 AD= 18 years

30 - 18= 12 years marriage preparation time span

c.2021 AD= 21 years

30 - 21= 09 years marriage preparation time span

Therefore, Study then Job then Marriage then further for baby care further insurance for divorce.

Whether this one is a Society building or Lifetime imprisonment..

Earlier Marriage was Lifetime imprisonment with loving caring and Social Bonding….

For present day the scholar may analyse it and publish another research article of anxiety free married life to all.

Laws regarding marriage vary by country and jurisdiction. In many countries, there are laws that prohibit marriage between an adult and a minor (typically under 18). Some examples include:

- In the United States, each state has its own laws, but generally, the minimum age for marriage is 18, and some states allow 16- or 17-year-olds to marry with parental consent or under certain circumstances.

- In India, the legal age for marriage is 22 for men and 18 for women, as per the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, and the Special Marriage Act, 1954.

- In the United Kingdom, the minimum age for marriage is 18, and 16- and 17-year-olds can marry with parental consent in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

- In Canada, the minimum age for marriage is 18, and 16- and 17-year-olds can marry with parental consent in some provinces.

Additionally, many countries have laws that prohibit marriage between someone over 18 and someone under 18, even with parental consent, to protect minors from exploitation and coercion.

Please note that laws can change, and specific circumstances may be subject to legal exceptions or variations. It's always best to consult with a legal professional or relevant authorities for accurate and up-to-date information.

Now, if I am a 28 years jobless boy or girl when should I marry in young age or middle age. Badhan Banerjee (talk) 09:34, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In India, the legal age for marriage is 18 years for women and 21 years for men. However, with parental consent or under certain circumstances, a 16-17 year old can get married under the following conditions:

- With parental consent: The Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1929 allows marriage between 16-18 years old with parental consent. (Section 2(a))

- Under certain circumstances: The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 allows marriage between 16-18 years old in case of pregnancy or child birth. (Section 3)

Please note that these laws are subject to change and may have additional conditions or restrictions. It's always best to consult with a legal expert or relevant authorities for accurate and up-to-date information.

Size

Is it just me or is this article waaaaay too long? Now don't get me wrong, I know marriage is a very broad topic that goes back millenia but I feel as though significant trimming can be achieved. What I first notice is that there are two sections (Etymology and definitions) that could be condensed into a single section. The first of the two sections is quite brief but the second goes into unnecessary detail that are of very little importance. I suggest trimming the unnecessary details and combining the two sections into 3, maybe 4, paragraphs. Aside from that, I was able to uncover more instances of irrelevant and unsourced content, particularly in the Law and Religion sections. ✿ Wolveríne X-eye ✿ 10:57, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
