Need for change
When the Central government introduced a Bill to raise the age of marriage of women to 21 years it was widely appreciated but the key issue of consensus was neglected. Marital rape is a dark reality we all have to accept (Page 1, “Process on to amend criminal laws: govt.”, February 3). The most important aspect about the empowerment of women is consensus and when it is made a crucial aspect of our society it not only ensures the foundation of a progressive nation but also boosts the morale of half of the population of our country which is women. Today, the most challenging aspect a woman faces is still being seen as a symbol of sexual oppression which has to change.
