hi,
apparently this seems very close to what i had read in collection of
swami vivekananda's speeches/commentaries. even otherwise this seems
logical enough. there is too much confusion @ gender relations and
family as an institution due to the higher age of marriage. even
otherwise the sexual promiscuity is on the increase even in the sub-15
years now, we might as well legalise child marriage and save the
society rather than becoming a herd of animals moving by the sway of
the carnal pleasures.
regards,
GB
