Solution

The correct option is D Women- 18, Men- 21
The legal marriageable age is 18 years for women and 21 years for men. Getting them married at any age younger than that is a punishable offence.

Yet, we see child marriages happening in some villages of the country. These children are often uneducated and do not know their rights.
