Indian men, get set to marry at 18 6 Feb, 2008 l 2106 hrs IST If India at 60 gives an impression of mellowness and maturity that most of us can't relate with, here is young India with a median age of below 25, bursting with fervour and vigour. Right from sports to scientific research to technical know-how, Indian youth is savvy on all fronts. But what about taking important life decisions? Is he able to manage when it comes to shouldering responsibility of a family? At least the law commission feels so. It has proposed that the age of marriage for both boys and girls should be 18 since no scientific logic justifies the gender difference in marriageable age. It has also suggested that marriages between sub-16 years be declared void. Will the law panel's proposed move do away with the alarming number of unregistered and illegal marriages? Do you think an 18-year-old is mentally and financially prepared for marriage?

i am a social liberal. and as such i believe it is the mans decision and not the governments to decide when he marries. if we let the governments in our bedrooms trust me people, we have lost our precious liberty. i would much rather have the right to mak ea mistake and learn from it rather than be forced to do what some politician in delhi thinks is right for me.Back..

Yes ! provided he is able to sustain the family at this age.
Biologically he is matured, emotional maturity takes years only with the help of a good partner that too is possible for many.
ADVANTAGE - More healthy progenies are possible as his seed is more potent at this time. So why not capitalise on that. One doesn't need to visit fertility clinic.
He get his priorities right from the early age - so the chances of going him astray is very much reduced - Meaning chances of AIDS and other diseases are reduced.
I can add many...
Education system is to be tampered .... Instead of full-time schooling - part time schooling and life long studies will commit him more to life , than to any other fantasies..
Moreover it is a myth that emotional maturity is through age.
so why not?

You can't say " No, 18 is not the right age.", just because over time we are used to men marrying when they are 25 or so. in fact society has no real idea whatsoever if a man at 18 can be responsible in the face of marriage. So pooh-pooh -ing the change by the seemingly wise mature adults, seriously lacks a pragmatic sense. As if women can be responsible to the family at 18 and men cannot?????Back..

Life at 18 seems really cool. One feels like being on cloud nine, and the complete world is under his/her feet. But the truth of society and the ability to handle things comes with time and experience.
marriage is a very big responsibility. 18 is still teenage which is taken for granted as the age of instability and immaturity. A child is just out of school when he/she is 18.
Its completely foolish to even think of marrying at 18.Back..

I strongly disagree with this crap decision made by the Indian law commissions.At the tender age of 18 both men and women are quite immature to handle their family responsibilities n moreover most of the youngsters are commitment phobiac at this age. So the legal marriage age should be extended to 21 yrs.Back..

Age of marriage for man should not be 18. I opine man are not able to shoulder a family in the age of 18. And their maturity also come in late compared to the girl. In age 18 most of the man do not complete their study to reach in a well placed position for shouldering his family. So I think age of marriage of man should not be 18.Back..
