Age of Marriage Bill

The Age of Marriage Bill is legislation aimed at setting a minimum legal age for marriage, typically to protect young individuals from premature, forced, or early marriages. It seeks to ensure that individuals are mature enough emotionally and physically before entering into marriage, aligning with societal progress and human rights. The bill may also include provisions to prevent child marriage, promote gender equality, and provide legal safeguards for minors. Its goal is to foster responsible reproductive rights, improve health outcomes, and support the overall well-being of young people by ensuring marriages happen only when individuals are deemed ready.
