&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The proposed policy, instead of addressing the causes and consequences of under-age marriages, may instead produce adverse, suboptimal outcomes affecting the poor and marginalised the most.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Should women&amp;rsquo;s legal age for marriage be raised? The answer to this seemingly simple question is not so simple, because the question is not simply about replacing age 18 with 21. Rather, it deals with the social origins of a &amp;ldquo;problem&amp;rdquo; not easily amenable for policy pruning, however progressive its intent might be.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Marriage at a low age is the outcome of a complex web of factors. To begin with, the socio-economic groups and regions where under-age marriages are prevalent are marked by a near absence of quality schooling and opportunities for higher education, fortified by poverty and limited economic opportunities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An offshoot of the question posed at the beginning arises here. Why should, if at all, women&amp;rsquo;s legal age at marriage be increased from 18 to 21, when 18 is considered the marriageable age in many countries? Stated differently, what are the compelling grounds for increasing women&amp;rsquo;s age at marriage? One purported reason is to do away with the gender gap in the legal age at marriage, and the underlying social norm which expects women to be younger than men at the time of marriage. Another related reason is that marriage at a younger age before attaining physical, cognitive and emotional maturity leads to a suboptimal transition to adulthood.&lt;/p&gt;

The answer to this seemingly simple question is not so simple, because the question is not simply about replacing age 18 with 21.

Why should, if at all, women&amp;rsquo;s legal age at marriage be increased from 18 to 21, when 18 is considered the marriageable age in many countries? Stated differently, what are the compelling grounds for increasing women&amp;rsquo;s age at marriage? One purported reason is to do away with the gender gap in the legal age at marriage, and the underlying social norm which expects women to be younger than men at the time of marriage.

Move to raise women’s age of marriage reflects punitive paternalism -Sunny Jose

-The Indian Express The proposed policy, instead of addressing the causes and consequences of under-age marriages, may instead produce adverse, suboptimal outcomes affecting the poor and marginalised the most. Should women’s legal age for marriage be raised? The answer to this seemingly simple question is not so simple, because the question is not simply about replacing age 18 with 21. Rather, it deals with the social origins of a “problem” not easily amenable for policy pruning, however progressive its intent might be. Marriage at a low age is the outcome of a complex web of factors. To begin with, the socio-economic groups and regions where under-age marriages are prevalent are marked by a near absence of quality schooling and opportunities for higher education, fortified by poverty and limited economic opportunities. An offshoot of the question posed at the beginning arises here. Why should, if at all, women’s legal age at marriage be increased from 18 to 21, when 18 is considered the marriageable age in many countries? Stated differently, what are the compelling grounds for increasing women’s age at marriage? One purported reason is to do away with the gender gap in the legal age at marriage, and the underlying social norm which expects women to be younger than men at the time of marriage. Another related reason is that marriage at a younger age before attaining physical, cognitive and emotional maturity leads to a suboptimal transition to adulthood. Please click here to read more.
