3rd Early marriage doesn't guarantee anything. Had a cousin married at 27. He's 35 now still no kid. On the verge of divorce.
TBH I am totally against such marriages. These are couples dating for the first time and getting to know each other. You can’t just marry them off so quickly. Typically, the girl’s parents fear that the girl will get a “bad name” if they break up and she will be a pariah if she was also sexually actively in the relationship. So they literally marry her off to the first guy she holds hands with. This is not only regressive thinking, but also self-defeating. If you are so concerned about what society thinks, what if the guy turns out to be toxic and she is forced to divorce? The social stigma against divorcees is worse!
IMO the minimum age of marriage should be statutorily raised to 25.
I understand the legalities of this. But, you can't the change the mechanism of the social systems that exist in villages. The law has not been very successful despite its coming into existence for over a decade now. See it's my observation only. I can't do anything against it except for marrying someone of proper age.
