Abstract

Under a law which came into effect on October 1, the legal age of marriage has been raised in India to 21 for men and 18 for women, an increase of 3 years from the old minimum. The new law is designed to help slow the population growth rate by deferring parenthood. The Herald Tribune suggests the law may not have much effect. "Just as many of India's 600,000 villages are almost outside the money economy, they are also outside the realm of social legislation dictated from New Delhi".

印度提高结婚年龄。
根据10月1日生效的一项法律,印度的法定结婚年龄已提高到男性21岁,女性18岁,比以前的最低结婚年龄提高了3岁。新法律旨在通过推迟生育来帮助减缓人口增长率。《先驱论坛报》认为,这项法律可能不会产生太大影响。“就像印度60万个村庄中的许多村庄几乎不受货币经济的影响一样,它们也不在新德里规定的社会立法范围之内。”
