Why is the legal age for marriage still different for boys (21) and girls(18) in India?
The ages above are well thought and well consulted …1— girl who is more of a feminist in nature (quite obvious) loves to be with a bigger man both in terms of physique as well as age(scientifically proved).2—girls can bear child at age of 15 according to medical science so age of 18 is ok for girls to get married considering their minimum education factor.3—in our society men generally look after their family for which they need education (graduation) which is the reason for 21 yrs for boys.4—as far as mental maturity is conserned both men and women are product of their upbringing environment.Eg—if u consider a boy aging lets say 15 yrs of a family whose father has passed away ..and he looks after his family and a girl of same age who studies in suppose 8th grade and is enjoying her life.In above eg who will be more mature ..hope u know the answer.

What do you think about Sweden banning child marriages?
You mean as from 1734 and onwards, when child marriage was banned and has been since then, with subsequent laws just raising the minimum age?There has existed a possibility for under 18-yearolds to be married by special permission from the state. That has been illegal since 2014.What has been a problem that has come up in later years however has been if a couple have gotten married in a country where the minimum age is lower than in Sweden, will they be considered to be married in Sweden? And if one is over 18 and the other is not, should the elder be charged with child rape or forced marriage?This was regulated in Lag (1904:26 s.1) om vissa internationella rättsförhållanden rörande äktenskap och förmynderskapThe issue is sometimes compounded by the presence of children in the relationship as the welfare of the children takes precedence over the welfare of the parents at this point, unless the parents are under 18 in which case they are all considered children.There is currently a…. (I don’t know how to translate this), Lagrådsremiss, a step on the way to making a law, that suggests that a new law is needed and in short should make a marriage invalid in Sweden if one of the parties was under the age of 18 at the time And if one of the parties is STILL under 18 there will be no exceptions to this.https://www.regeringen.se/49ca5f...To answer the question, I think it is a good thing in general, but we have to be careful how it is implemented. If the man owns all the property, and we dissolve their marriage, do we leave the woman destitute, for example?
What is the minimum age to have sex (in India)?
Depends. According to the IPC and POCSO, which are the statutory criminal laws on this subject and ostensibly covers all states of India (except the state of J&K) - the minimum age of consent to have sex is 18.However, it comes with a few caveats: 1) The North Eastern states of India have many tribal cultures where teenage sex is not a social taboo (or a social taboo to the same extent that it is in the 'mainland' Indian cultures). Hence, some state legislatures in these states have amended the age of consent to as low as 13 (sometimes with special exceptions). In some of these states, even if the state legislature made no such enactment, the tribal autonomy and other special laws restrict the scope of Indian statutory rape laws from being used against legitimate (~non-abusive) sexual relationships.2) Additionally, in mainland India - the higher courts in some of the more liberal states (like Delhi, for example) are reluctant to convict someone for statutory rape or sexual assault if it is obvious from the evidence presented, that the parties had sex because of their mutual love and affection for each other AND there is no element of abuse, coercion or exploitation in the relationship.As a rule of thumb, if you are in a society where teenage sex between unmarried couples is a social taboo, it is a good idea to avoid having sex with an under-18.
Is it True that NAMBLA started the gay marriage movement back in the 1970's?
I'm not saying it is. I am a firm supporter of gay rights and gay marriage. However I heard some hatemongers over at the R&S section saying that gay marriage is a deceptive attempt to legalize pederasty, which is the real gay agenda. They point to the fact that NAMBLA was the first US gay organization to join the International LGBT federation. These they say that once gay couples can adopt they will all adopt kids... then since they are all pederasts according to this person, they will mary their gay marry their adolescent boys to other pederasts. Since the age of consent doesn't apply to married couples and parents can consent to marriage for their children, the pederasty between the old man and his adolescent male husband will be legalzed. Is this true? Can this really happen? Does it happen in NY and Mass where gay marriage is legal? I have a hard time believing this.
Can a case be filed against a man for marrying a minor girl?
It’s extremely dependent; it honestly depends on who you are, what you believe, where you’re from and where you are.For example Swedish court approves of child marriage A rather…disturbing case in my personal opinionI imagine that Britain would be LESS than tolerant of such a case despite having a similar age of consent (16 as appose to Sweden’s 15)If you lived in Saudi Arabia, they’d probably not give a flying fuck No minimum age for marriage of girls – Grand Mufti (Sex outside marriage is illegal there so I don’t need to give another link for that)It also depends on what classes as a minor since the age depends on the country, America has 50 states, each with its own laws, some say 16, 18, 21, etc.It really depends where you are and I cannot give an accurate answer.I…would not support anyone under the age of 18 being married personally although the age of my country says 16 is fine.

Can it really be true that the USA allows child marriage in many states?
Some part of this is outdated. In Texas, the law was recently changed to minimum age to marry independently, 18. With parental consent within 30 days prior, 16 to 18. And under 16 requires a judge to essentially emancipate the minor.Despite the prevailing attitude that 18 is the minimum age of consent, marriage has for mellenia used menstruation as the minimum age for females to marry. While being financially independent and capable of supporting a family as the minimum age for males. In that construct, a 30 year old man who has a sexual relationship with a 14 year old girl, is Sexual Assault of a Minor (Statutory Rape), unless they’re married. In which case it’s completely legal.Many find that troubling. But there is a great deal of resistance to change it by many in state legislatures. The primary reasons against change are:In rural settings, it is a common practice for girls under 18 to be married to landed or professional men for economic reasons. This is the American cognate of Eastern arranged marriage.As an accepted method of legitimizing a pregnancy. Frequently the pregnancy is intentional by the girl in order to secure a marriage that she chooses.
