Indian men, get set to marry at 18​

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?

this debate has been gng on forever.....
it is all right to tlk abt it in the urban landscape but wat abt the rural india whr we dnt even have a court or something and the panchayats rule the roost....... thy dnt care abt such judgements and marry children
 
No, definitely not. I think Indian men neither mentally nor financially prepared for the marriage responsibility. Normally at the age of 18 boys should concentrate on career and this compititative world we cann't ignore the importance of career and. marriage at 18 not only spoil his career but also his life. In marriage, both should be matured so that they could enjoy as well as carry responsibility effectively so that they provide firm platform to their children also. So this discussion is not limited to the men and woman but also their offsprings.
 
At 18 , A person will not be able to handle the stress of handling his job and his wife.
Well if he is blessed with a good loving wife. Still there wont be any work life balance.
He wont be able to handle things, ultimately everything will fall apart.
 
at d age of 18 its time to build a strong career ...wch is more imp for d future......i dnt thnk its a right age to marry as no one would b mentally or financially prepared
 
Certainly 18 is not the desirable age... Though the government has prescribed 21, Men should get married only after finishing their studies and financially indepedent enough to get married and in any case, this should be completed before the age of 26-28, ideally
 
i feel that 18 is too young a age for any person boy or girl to be mentally mature to adjust to the complex relationship of marriage....
in a country like India where marriage is normally considered as a life long bond,will the boy n girl be capable of giving in to each other's wishes n make the marriage a successful relationship is a matter to be deeply contemplated on
 
well an18 yr old is mentally matured...but as far as financially it is concerned it depends...in todays scenario young in urban india are themselves prolonging their marriages because they are going 4 higher studies and their career is settled ard age of 23-24.. as far as rural india is concerned young get financially independent at early age...so its useless to keep different age limits for man and woman.
 
yes they are ready for marraige at 18 yrs of age
coz they are ready mentally as they start menstruating and thus are aware of such things bsfore 18
 
well according to the role he is able to marry but in practice marriage in age of 18 is not a good decision by the person, if we see to the age of 18 years old the person may be not good financially and mantally as well as a person in the age of 25 and cuz of this the person take the wrong decision which will effect in his whole life.

A girl under 21 years of age will not be physically or mentally fit for marriage. 18 years will be a very early marriage and as per me it is something very much equal to a child marriage
 
well i dont think any boy or girl at the age of 18 can really take a decision about commiting to some one for life ,i belive even if u r in a serious relation ship u should give it time to age a bit.
 
well i tik men wont b able to b financially n mentally prepared for marriage at the age of 18. since tey won b standing on their own feet so tey cant b able to support the girl. so i tik men sudnt get married at a young age n instead enjoy life n concentrate on their future.
 
an 18 year old boy or girl are not so matured to handle thier life financially so it is better to wait till the age of 24 and then think of it and these years are not for having a married life but are for higher studies and at this age they are not prepared for any of future planing so it is a terrible case
 
No. This age very immature. In todays wold where competition is intense and career path is difficult to build marriage will be destructive for future plan and ultimately land in chaos.
