Solution

The correct option is A 18
Earlier girls were forced to marry at a very young age. This burdened them with huge responsibilities at very tender age. Moreover early marriage deperived them from their childhood and the right to education.
Thus to prevent the child marrige, the Child Marriage Law came into force and it has strictly fixed the minimum age for marriage for girls as 18 and boys as 21.
