-Down to Earth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;In a recent event, BJP MLA Gopal Parmar said that child marriage is the solution to many problems like &amp;lsquo;love jihad&amp;rsquo;, elopement and divorce&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the light of rampant child marriages and related suffering of women in India, British India debated &amp;lsquo;Age of Consent Bill&amp;rsquo; in 1880s when an 11-year-old Bengali girl, Phulmani, died after her husband had brutally raped her.&amp;nbsp; Since then, India has crossed many milestones: getting independence, its own constitution, and emerging as one of top five economic powerhouses in the world. But, it is still not able to get rid of a regressive practice of this kind. Around 27 per cent or nearly 1.5 million girls in the country get married before they turn 18, the legal age to marry in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even in those days, Phulmani&amp;rsquo;s death disturbed many, and at least 500 women doctors sent a memorandum to the then Viceroy and requested him to stop child marriage. Remember, this was nineteenth century. Now, we are in 21st century when a policy maker from ruling party propagates child marriage as a solution for all evils in the society. Should we not demonstrate that same intensity and write to our Prime Minister when his party member advocates ideas like child marriage?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India has seen policy makers making absurd comments on society, especially in the last few years. Whether it is the newly appointed Tripura chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb who claimed that the satellite and mobile technology existed during the times of Mahabharata, or the Minister of State for Human Resource and Development (HRD) Satyapal Singh who found Charles Darwin&amp;rsquo;s theory of human evolution &amp;lsquo;wrong&amp;rsquo; because no one has seen monkey turning to human being, there is a series of anti-science remarks that attempted to sideline science and eulogise mythological past. While these absurd remarks may not have a grave impact on the status quo, but an attempt at glorifying a social evil like child marriage has the potential to push India back to 19th century.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking during a government event in Agar town of Madhya Pradesh, the local BJP MLA Gopal Parmar said that child marriage is the solution to many problems like &amp;lsquo;love jihad&amp;rsquo;, elopement and divorce. He has gone to the extent of saying that he himself married as a child and fixed the marriages of his three children before they reached the legal age.&lt;br /&gt;

$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-Down to Earth&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;In a recent event, BJP MLA Gopal Parmar said that child marriage is the solution to many problems like &amp;lsquo;love jihad&amp;rsquo;, elopement and divorce&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the light of rampant child marriages and related suffering of women in India, British India debated &amp;lsquo;Age of Consent Bill&amp;rsquo; in 1880s when an 11-year-old Bengali girl, Phulmani, died after her husband had brutally raped her.&amp;nbsp; Since then, India has crossed many milestones: getting independence, its own constitution, and emerging as one of top five economic powerhouses in the world. But, it is still not able to get rid of a regressive practice of this kind. Around 27 per cent or nearly 1.5 million girls in the country get married before they turn 18, the legal age to marry in India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even in those days, Phulmani&amp;rsquo;s death disturbed many, and at least 500 women doctors sent a memorandum to the then Viceroy and requested him to stop child marriage. Remember, this was nineteenth century. Now, we are in 21st century when a policy maker from ruling party propagates child marriage as a solution for all evils in the society. Should we not demonstrate that same intensity and write to our Prime Minister when his party member advocates ideas like child marriage?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;India has seen policy makers making absurd comments on society, especially in the last few years. Whether it is the newly appointed Tripura chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb who claimed that the satellite and mobile technology existed during the times of Mahabharata, or the Minister of State for Human Resource and Development (HRD) Satyapal Singh who found Charles Darwin&amp;rsquo;s theory of human evolution &amp;lsquo;wrong&amp;rsquo; because no one has seen monkey turning to human being, there is a series of anti-science remarks that attempted to sideline science and eulogise mythological past. While these absurd remarks may not have a grave impact on the status quo, but an attempt at glorifying a social evil like child marriage has the potential to push India back to 19th century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking during a government event in Agar town of Madhya Pradesh, the local BJP MLA Gopal Parmar said that child marriage is the solution to many problems like &amp;lsquo;love jihad&amp;rsquo;, elopement and divorce. He has gone to the extent of saying that he himself married as a child and fixed the marriages of his three children before they reached the legal age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.downtoearth.org.in/blog/when-politicians-endorse-child-marriage-you-have-to-shout-beti-bachao--60482&quot; title=&quot;http://www.downtoearth.org.in/blog/when-politicians-endorse-child-marriage-you-have-to-shout-beti-bachao--60482&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;
