The High Court ruling that a girl can be married at the age of 15 against the existing age of 18 is highly objectionable and unwarranted. This will only encourage child marriage. Can a married girl be stopped from becoming a mother by law? Is a girl menatally and physicaly fit to become a mother at the age of 15 or 16? What about a girl child's right to education?
Has the High Court got any answer to above questions?
Whatever averments made by the High Court is wrong, illegal and against the principle of natural justice. The High Court judgement is to be quashed/repealed immediately. Othewise all the law abiding citizens, NGOs particularly Women's organisations must unite and fight against the High Court ruling.
