What they don't understand is that, the more you restrict/ban stuff, the more people get fascinated and attracted by it.
Most of the stuff does not make sense either. However, it is not just India. For example, gay sex is banned in Saudi arab too.
Oh! You are a 18 year old girl, you sure can be trusted with marriage and having/raising a kid but you sure cannot be trusted with booze!!
You may want to lower the drinking age but you need to come up with better reasons :) Also why shouldn't the drinking age be 15 or 13?
I am not favoring increase or decrease of either age mandates, I am just commenting on the disparity, if one cannot be trusted to consume alcohol responsibly then should the same person be trusted to be responsible for another human life (marriage and raising a child).
And, let's face it: Many young marriages are particularly bad matches due to the inexperience of the people involved.
In any case: I didn't know that there was a legal minimum age for marriage in India and I commend them for having it. Such a limit is an important progressive step for any country in which the parents are heavily involved in matchmaking.
