Girls' marriage age should be 21 if no parents' consent: MP
BJP MP Gopal Shetty has proposed a private member bill in the Lok Sabha demanding that the age bar for girls' marriage be extended to 21 from 18, if the marriage doesn't have parents' consent. Adding that by 21, girls attain maturity, Shetty said the age bar for girls could be 18 if the marriage has the consent of parents.
