Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma now has an input on ‘correct age of marriage for women’: 22 to 30

“These days I have been saying that child marriages should be stopped, that girls should not become mothers at a young age. But they should not become mothers at too old an age, either. Then also there are complications. Like there are complications in the case of births at a small age, there are complications also when giving birth at 28, 30 or 35. So the correct age to give birth is between 22 and 30, not before that, not after that,” he said, addressing an event where he distributed letters of appointments to various government departments.

“Many people wait. Waiting also causes difficulties because then too, the body does not agree with it. Our bodies were created by God in such a way that we should give birth between 22 and 30. So those who have not married yet should get married soon,” he said.
