As our soceity is trying to be more civilised we are trying to do our best to protect the rights of women as well as building up a healthy soceity .
Even for fixing marriageable age there are many reasons which are logical . In progressive soceities the marriage age is increasing and the increasing physical and emotional maturity that it brings is well documented . Even the age of 18 is quite low for an emotionally mature relationship . Of course to get a fat dowry and use the girl as an object of sexual desire 18 is an appropriate age . But considering that these same girls are pressured to have a baby in one year as if its a marathon places extra mortality risks as well as a child who is borne into an emotionally immature parent .
It is in this setup that a group of people (of course of the male sex) are trying to reduce the marriage age.
Logically thinking i dont know to what age they want to reduce the age and for what ? Firstly its well known that a teenager is in many ways resemble a child and in no way can be mature enough for marriage . For getting their carnal desires satisfied teenage marriage is an excellent method especially as hormones as higher but is it in favour of the girl . Especially when india is trying hard to better the sex ratios , the dowry harassment issues etc etc isnt it barbaric to go back to the dark ages .
Anyway when religion these days is mostly misrepresented for vested interests our only hope is the "parrots " as mentioned in the article rising up and telling the tormentors that their days are over . Other option is get married as a child and cook for your modern knight in shining armour and bear his children from early teenage onwards .

Reducing marriageable age is not option for reduction of sex abused offences in the society and society must have open thinking and open to accept latest developments. Our society is is accpeting western culture partially and partial acceptance of any thing is always dangerous that we are observing within our society time to time..................
