What's the thing about marriage age? India already has among the highest marriage age in the world.
If it is being changed, I hope it is being decreased. Let people decide not State. The colonial state should leave the people alone rather than trying to "civilize" & "fix" them.

I'd like parents and the girls to make that decision, not the State. It's their decision not mine or yours.
I'm not OK with the state's draconian interference in society.

Tribal youth are being thrown into jail for following their customs. They live in the forest, the only "benefit" the State provides them is to come and throw them in jail, egged by NGOs.
This is WHITE MAN's CIVILISING MISSION. Now by @narendramodi?

Seems like more "social justice warrior" madness by the colonial state. The BJP acts more like a far-Left party than anything to do with Indic traditions.
In 146 countries of the world, including "advanced" countries of the West, girls can marry under 18 with parental consent.
Not in India. Why? Because social justice warriors want to fix "backward" Indian society; parents and children aren't fit to decide.

Discussion on marriage age in India is driven by colonial shame based on atrocity literature. Meanwhile this is the chart of 15-17 year olds of both genders *legally* married in the US. Data for girls alone is even more.
Ever saw atrocity literature on it?

What part of letting people and society make those decisions don't you understand?
Let's focus on fixing the state instead rather than expanding its role.

Because they are "backward and ignorant" since they don't speak English and city people here, including "Hindutva" warriors, are keen to fix them. And they claim to be for "Indian culture." 😂
