New Delhi: The Modi cabinet has given its approval to the bill to increase the age of marriage of girls by the central government. The opposition to this decision of the government has started. Samajwadi Party and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asasuddin Owaisi has opposed this. Owaisi said, “The government is behaving like the uncle of the street.”
PM can choose but cannot marry
In a series of tweets, Owaisi said, “The Modi government has decided to raise the age of marriage for women to 21. This is the typical patriarchy that we have come to expect from the government. Can men and women of 18 years sign contracts, start businesses, choose the prime minister and elect MPs and MLAs but not marry?”

He said, “They can give consent for sexual relations and live-in partnership but cannot choose their life partner? Just ridiculous.”
The Hyderabad MP said, “For the most important things men and women are treated as adults at the age of 18. Why is marriage different? Legal age is not really a criterion; Education should be the essential goal to ensure economic progress and human development.
girls will vaargi
Samajwadi Party MP Shafiqur Rehman Burke has given a controversial statement on the decision to increase the age of girls. He said, “If the girls get older, then they will start loafing.” Burke said, “India is a poor country and everyone wants to get their daughter married at an early age… I will not support this bill in Parliament.”
At the same time, the SP MP has given clarification on the controversy increasing over the statement. He said, “I did not use the word “avaragi”. My statement was misrepresented. I said the situation is not favorable.”
akhilesh yadav shunned by statement
On the one hand, the socialist MPs are opposing the bill. On the other hand, party supremo Akhilesh Yadav has distanced himself from the statements of his leaders. Yadav said, “Samajwadi Party has nothing to do with any such statement. Samajwadi Party is a progressive party and has started schemes for the progress of girls and women.
