Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the government will soon take a decision on the right age of marriage of daughters in the country. PM said that the government is waiting for the final report of the concerned committee.
PM Modi was speaking at an event organised to mark the 75th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization.
He said, 'Discussion is underway to decide the right age for marriage of our daughters. From across the country, daughters have written to me asking why the concerned committee has not given its decision yet. I assure you that as soon as the report comes, the government will act on it.'
PM also mentioned the steps taken by the government for women's health and hygiene. He said that 'We are also taking necessary steps for the good health of our daughters. We are providing water to every house through the Jal Jeevan Mission. We are providing sanitary pads for Rs 1. The central government said on 22 September that a task force has been formed to investigate the relationship between the age of marriage and the age of motherhood.'
