legal age

In one district alone, Madhya Pradesh, 18.9 percent of males were married before legal age, compared to 12.5 percent of females.

In India, the legal age for marriage for boys is 21 and 18 for girls.

If boys agree to marry only when they are 21, then young girls will not get proposals from them till they are of the legal age.

The legal age for marriage differs in every country, and is almost always younger for girls than boys.

A state health survey in 2012 found that more boys than girls were getting married before reaching the legal age of consent.

It is true that some men far anticipated the legal age in assuming offices, honours, privileges.

From the evidence already at hand, James saw loopholes available in the matter of the legal age of twenty-one.
