Another question that seldom gets asked is that of children. When it comes to children, it seldom gets opted for outside of wedlock. Marriage is an inter-generational contract, and the majority of us demand it, desire it.

When the mainstream discourse talks about the 'right age' of marriage and hence pushes for delaying it, it sees early marriage as a cause of many consequences. But correlation is not equal to causation. Delaying the age does not tackle the correlated issues.
- Mary E. John

In addition to Early and Child Marriage, we need to talk about Compulsory Marriage. And that does not necessarily mean forced marriage. It can very much be consensual. The centrality of marriage needs to get scrutinized.
