The Chairperson of Karnataka State Commission for Women, R. Pramila Naidu, has said the Centre’s move to raise the legal age of marriage for women to 21 was a step in the right direction.
She told media persons here on Friday that at 21 years a woman can think independently and will be in a position to take a decision that is in her interest. She would have completed her education by 21, and will be economically independent all of which will stand her in good stead to face the vicissitudes of life whereas teenaged girls will be vulnerable and unable to think independently.
Ms. Naidu, who was in the city to receive grievances, said she received more than 200 cases from Mysuru this year and a majority pertained to domestic issues or to asking for protection. Across the State the number of complaints is in excess of 3,000, she added. But on Friday the response to the grievance redressal programme was muted.
