  469. This is very good initiative to protect both man and women. Early marriage has very adverse effect on both. Not only female we should stop early marriage of both female and male candidate.

  482. No girl should be abused whether rich or poor. Girls and boys should get equal rights whether in the field of education or job. Child marriage should be banned as children need education in their childhood not their own children being a child. Child marriage is such a crime that doesn’t allow a girl child to live life as she want and for which she can’t do a better job. So a girl should be educated then she must get s job and then she can marry when her marriage age will arrive at her willings.
