There was no laxity on the part of the police to monitor the situation after the last day’s killing (of SDPI leader). We had deployed more force in several areas after the Saturday night’s killing, but could not prevent Sunday’s killing.”

Minimum marriage age for women from 18 to 21, Cabinet clears the proposal

New Delhi: The Union Cabinet clears the proposal and raises the minimum age of a woman for marriage from 18 to 21 as the same as a man. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said after one year that the plan is under review. During his last year’s Independence Day speech, Prime Minister mention this proposal.

Narendra Modi said in his speech, “This government is constantly concerned about the health of daughters and sisters. To save the daughters from malnutrition, they must be married at the right age.”

In the present time, the minimum marriage age for men is 21 but for women, this is 18. The Indian government is looking at the changes to the Special Marriage Act, Prohibition of Child Marriage Act 2006, and the Hindu Marriage Act 1955 to bring the plan into action.

Section 5(3) of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955 sets that the minimum age for a bride is 18 years and for the groom, it is 21. Also the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act 2006 and The Special Marriage Act 1954 told the same as 18 and 21 years is the minimum age for marriage for women and men.

The NITI Aayog task force directed by Jaya Jaitly had backed the recommendation. The task force was made in last year June month.

In December the recommendation on the proposal of women’s marriage age was submitted by the task force. As they stressed the marriage age of a woman and told that a woman must be at least 21 years old age during their first pregnancy.

Task force director Jaya Jaitly quoted the lines on the press, “I want to make clear that our reasoning behind the recommendation was never one of population control. Recent data released by NFHS 5 (National Family Health Survey) have already shown that the Total Fertility Rate is decreasing and the population is under control. The idea behind it (the recommendation) is the empowerment of women.”

The delayed marriage of a woman has positive impacts in various sectors such as financial, social, and health impacts on families, society, and children.

Supreme Court allows to widening Char Dham road in views of ‘National Security’

GrowJust Desk: In view of security concerns, on Tuesday Supreme Court allowed making a double lane path for the Char Dham road project. SC has agreed with the government’s arguments that the government said it has strategic importance to make a wider lane in the area of Char Dham road.

On Tuesday morning the top court of the country said that it needs to be met the border security concerns and the movement of armies and equipment is also much needed. In the recent past, the road has given “serious challenges to national security.”

The bench of three members Justice Vikram Nath, Justice DY Chandrachud, and Justice Surya Kant added that The Defence Ministry is a specialized body and it can make decisions about the required operation. Moreover, the court also said that armed forces’ equipment is needed to met safeguard borders, and highways that have strategic importance are can’t be dealt with in the same manner as the other hilly terrains.

Besides the judiciary also acknowledged the petitioner’s environmental concerns and told that the petition was forming an oversight committee that will be led by Justice AK Sikri, a former judge of the Supreme Court.

Every four months, this committee will give the report to the Supreme Court on the project’s improvement will also have representatives from the Ministry of Environment and the National Environmental Research Institute. Its main goal is to assure the implementation of existing recommendations.

This 899 km highway project is in Uttarakhand and the area is very much ecologically sensitive. The road is connected to the four shrines of Badrinath, Yamunotri, Kedarnath, and Gangotri. It has already seen several numbers of floods and landslides incidents due to the cutting of trees in the road.

Citizens and a local NGO have challenged the road-widening for Green Doon and the immeasurable destruction to the fragile Himalayan ecosystem.

However, the government had said the road widening in this area is vital as with China they were ‘feeder’ roads accessing those on the Line of Actual Control (LAC). But the petitioner argued that the army never want to widen the roads.

Petitioner said to the Supreme Court, “Someone high up in political power wanted highways on the Char Dham yatra. And the Army then became a reluctant participant.”
