With various laws that try to stop the age-old ‘tradition’ of unification of a man with a girl with significant age differences, which ventures many cases that highlights that the girls have not even been into their monthlies. With the recent announcement by PM Modi, the Indian Government will yet again go under the process of reiterating the minimum Age of marriage for women. With the notion that the man has to be bigger, more educated, earning than his wife has made questions that arise under inequalities. Whereas Women are restricted from all these boundaries just because females get mature faster? The terminology of Equality Questioning the Rights of Women and Men and having equal opportunities at every step in life is vital for any individual even if they don’t fall under the Umbrella of which locates them to be Men or Women. (https://diversityq.com/) The minimum legal Age to get married for men is 21 years old, and women are 18.

We have to accept that a particular individual is bound to get attracted to someone else after a certain amount of time. And with their Consent, with the awareness of mind, body, and soul, they can progress ahead with sexual activities. I am tagging the legal tag of intercourse after marriage, considering Consent and the Age of getting married, as the same is the mockery of synonyms. There shouldn’t be a legal age to get married. There is no legality when it comes to marriage; it is the state of mind of two individuals which collide to the same intuitions. The only background that raised the law (Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006) was to stop child marriages in India. Which prevailed under are noses with no issues whatsoever.
