As of now, the law that sets age for marriage as 21 years (for men) and 18 (for women) is discriminatory and foolish.
What if an 18-yr old woman wishes to marry her 18-yr old lover? Should see wait for another three years?
An 18 year old woman can marry only a man who is 3 years older to her! This crazy law thus not only determines the lower limit of marriageable age. It also determines the age gap between a husband and wife in the case of women who wish to marry before the age of 21 years. The law is an ass.
And now comes another crazy regulation from a court! Are people in Karnataka scared that their daughters younger than 21 will elope with someone? Well, now they will elope with someone outside Karnataka.
