Hello Freinds.

I'm really enjoying this show, but the question that rises is..Is marriage right at such a young age. I know that its not mostly done these days, but it was really common in the old days. Do you know anything simliar that has happened.?

I am quite against child marriage since the child is not fully developed mentally, so they don't really have a choice and their own opnion..

What are your views?

By the way child marriage are still existing in some parts of rajasthan, MP,Bengal, and HP.

It is illegal in India. but even then child marriage has happened.

There are parents when their child just becomes 18, they get them married, they don't even tell the girl what is marriage really about?

its reallly illegal but practised in villages in India in places like Rajasthan n all..in 1 of my frnds villages there's a custom of marriage at birth too.
its completely wrong...children of such young age dont even knw the right meanin of marriage ....like tauji wants to marry a unmarried girl/women..some girls are married to men of age even 30-40 yrs older to them ...the men die early and the girl becomes a widow and has to live a sorrowful life throughout her life...at the age of enjoying their childhood they are forced to do household chores..its not good for their mind and body
may child marriage get abolished fully!!

Totally against it. It is against the rights of the girl child. 😡 One of the most archaic and regressive customs. 🤢

i dont know whether should oppose or not, reason being want to know what our scriptures has said, b'coz if we go in Ramayana and Mahabharata times there women enjoyed their specific position,i want to know what scripture say exactly about child marriage, their reason of early marriage , because its my belief scriptures always have some logic behind everything.... as i read this topic i searched on it and found some ancient theory about it, will post the link of it....
But, as of now the way they are showing actually showing the true pic, which actually begin after the sultan empire,even the rituals have become more orthodox , spl. banning the girls education
here is the link of what ancient scriptures say abt it.....

http://www.hindutva.org/practices1.html
Right now find only two, if i got somemore information on what scripture said abt. it .
Just now what they are showing which is very much true.... i hate child marriage..
At times after watching the serial, I become tensed, and when i confirm with my mother about it, is that actually used to happen she said its very true......
the most heinous thing rite now their plan to show the Tauji marriage with some young girl, i even saw the water movie, i was so tensed up after seeing the deteriorated condition of widows....

child marriage is totally wrong
in the case of the boy its fine but yyyyy should the poor girl suffer
yyyy should she be away from her parents love at such a small age
ok if the boys parents are like jagyas parents dan its fine but it rarely happens and den if der is a hitler like dadisa sitting on the head then u can imagine the state of the poor kid,in shor t child marriage is a total disgrace for da society although the serial is v nice and specially the 2 mothers they r v nice also

Most of the curtailing of women freedom came after the Mughal rule. There used to be not much of pardha system. Though, I am not sure about child marriage, it is a crime under Indian laws. But, one can see on news such things happening in Rajashthan, M.P ... Haryana.

It is against law of nature and a rights of a girl child to get her married at such a tender when she is supposed to play and study like boys.
