Women should be made self-sufficient before they are married off, Kerala Women’s Commission chairperson P. Satheedevi has said.
She was speaking after inaugurating a seminar at Kuttichal grama panchayat as part of a Scheduled Tribe zonal camp organised by the commission on Sunday.
Though women could get married at the age of 18 legally, there was no need for any compulsion on this. Women should be given skill training through the Kudumbashree auxiliary groups, she said.
