NEW DELHI: In a hint that government is considering revising upward the legal age of marriage for girls which is currently 18 years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday a decision on “what should be the right age of marriage for girls” would be taken as soon as a committee set-up to study the issue submits its report. “To end malnutrition among girls, to assess what should be the age of marriage, we have set-up a committee,” the PM said.

新德里:印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪暗示政府正在考虑上调女性的法定结婚年龄,目前女性的法定结婚年龄为18岁,周六莫迪表示,研究该问题的委员会一旦提交报告,就会就“女性的最佳结婚年龄”做出决定。莫迪称:“为了解决女孩营养不良问题,评估结婚年龄,我们成立了一个委员会。”

As of now, while the legal age of marriage in India is 18 years for girls, it is 21 for boys. Anaemia and malnutrition are common afflictions in underage mothers and relate to marriages taking place in the 16-18 age group. That proportion, though declining, is significant even now.

目前,印度的法定结婚年龄是女方18岁,男方21岁。贫血和营养不良是未成年母亲的常见疾病与在16-18岁阶段结婚有关。这一比例虽然在下降,但即使是现在也相当可观。

The task force headed by social activist Jaya Jaitly was set-up in June as a follow-up to the announcement made by finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Union budget for 2020-21 where she stated, “women’s age of marriage was increased from 15 to 18 years in 1978, by amending the erstwhile Sharda Act of 1929. As India progresses further, opportunities open up for women to pursue higher education and careers. There are imperatives of lowering maternal mortality ratio (MMR) as well as improvement of nutrition levels. The entire issue about the age of a girl entering motherhood needs to be seen in this light.”

财政部长西塔拉曼在公布2020-2021财年联邦预算时表示:“1978年,通过修改1929年通过的《沙尔达法案》,女性的法定结婚年龄由15岁提高到18岁。随着印度的进一步发展,女性接受高等教育和从事职业的机会越来越多。必须降低产妇死亡率,改善女孩的营养水平。关于女孩结婚年龄的整个问题需要从这个角度来看待。”由社会活动家Jaya Jaitly领导的特别小组是在6月成立的,作为对西塔拉曼提议的跟进。

The task force has the mandate to examine matters pertaining to the age of motherhood, imperatives of lowering maternal mortality rate, improvement of nutritional levels and related issues. It has to also suggest suitable legislations or amendments in exsting laws and a detailed rollout plan with timelines to implement these recommendations. TOI has learnt that the task force which was supposed to give its report till July 31, is yet to submit it to the government.

工作小组获授审查有关有关孕产年龄的问题,降低产妇死亡率的必要性、改善营养水平及有关问题。工作小组还必须对现有法律提出适当的立法或修订建议,并为实施这些建议制定详细的计划和时间表。《印度时报》获悉,工作小组本应在7月31日之前提交报告,但尚未提交给政府。

The 2001 census said, “In the age group of 15-49 years — the prime child bearing age group — 81.4% of women are married. This percentage is high due to lower female age at marriage in many parts of the country."

2001年的人口普查显示,“在15-49岁这一育龄阶段,81.4%的女性已婚。这一比例很高,是因为印度很多地区女性结婚年龄较低。”

The age of marriage has been a point of debate for long. The National Human Rights Commission too has raised the need for uniform age for marriage for both men and women from time to time. In 140 countries the age of marriage is 18 for both men and women. Even the Law Commission in a consultative paper on family laws in 2018 suggested that the legal age for marriage for both men and women across religions should be recognized at 18 years, the universal age for majority. It does not, however, seem likely that the male age of marriage will be reduced given the government's focus on dealing with malnutrition in underage and young brides.

结婚年龄一直是争论的焦点。国家人*委员会也不时提出男女统一结婚年龄的必要性。在140个国家,男女的结婚年龄都是18岁。甚至法律委员会在2018年一份关于家庭法的咨询文件中也建议,不同宗教的男女法定结婚年龄应该统一为18岁,这是多数人的结婚年龄。然而,考虑到政府关注未成年和年轻新娘的营养不良问题,男性结婚年龄似乎不会下调。

Settling a very critical issue pertaining to under age marriages, the Supreme Court in 2017 had ruled that “sexual intercourse with a minor wife amounts to rape, as under no circumstances can a child below 18 years give consent, express or implied, for sexual intercourse”. However, the government’s proposal to bring the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act in synchronisation with the judgement to make child marriages “void ab initio” (invalid at the outset) is yet to take the shape of a decision.

2017年,为了解决与未成年人婚姻有关的一个非常关键的问题,最高法院裁定,“与未成年妻子发生性关系等同于强奸,因为在任何情况下都不能明示或暗示和18岁以下的孩子发生性行为。”然而,政府将禁止童婚法案与判定童婚“从一开始就无效”同步提出的建议尚未作出决定。

An analysis of child marriage and teenage pregnancies shared by National Commission for Protection of Child Rights and voluntary organisation Young Lives in 2018 shows that while overall prevalence of child marriage among 15 -19 year - old girls declined significantly from 26.5% in 2005-06 to 11.9% in 2015-16, poverty and status of education are key factors in the circumstances that lead to child marriage. The study also reveals that amongst the married girls aged 15 to 19 years, 31.5% girls were found to have babies. Almost a quarter of the married girls in the age group of 15 to 16 years had at least one baby.

国家儿童权利保护委员会和志愿组织“年轻生命”在2018年分享的关于童婚和少女怀孕的分析果显示,尽管15- 19岁女孩的童婚率从2005-2006年的26.5%大幅下降到2015-2016年的11.9%,贫困和受教育程度是导致童婚的关键因素。研究还显示,在15-19岁的已婚女孩中,有31.5%的女孩生了孩子。在15-16岁的已婚女孩中,有近四分之一至少生了一个孩子。

I don't understand one thing, why is the min age for marriage for male is always more than that of female?It is just like telling people that girls should get married earlier.

有一件事我不明白,为什么男方的法定最低结婚年龄总是比女人大?。这就像告诉人们女孩应该早点结婚一样。

Dc Test

It's because girls of 18 years are more mature than a 21 year old boy. that's why the ideal age difference in marriage should be 3-5 years between boy and girl.

这是因为18岁的女性比21岁的男性更成熟。所以男性和女性之间理想的结婚年龄差距应该是3-5岁。

 

Jyotirmoy Mukhopadhyay

If the revision of the girl's marriage age is to arrest the population explosion, then the best thing would be to implement two-child norms.

如果上调女性的结婚年龄是为了遏制人口激增,那实际上控制人口最好的办法就是实施二胎政策。
