A quarterly series that tests out big ideas, policy change and cultural shifts directly in the field. It’s a crowdsourced search for multiple truths, told in voices not usually heard. It opens up advocacy, policy and intra national debates to new conversations, and subsequent contradictions.
Can a girl choose who or how she wants to love? Can a boy choose who he wants to marry? If a girl says ‘I do’ to her partner and both of them consensually fall in love before the legal age of marriage, is there space for that love to exist?
Can the law control when, how and whom we love? Can a woman’s desire be policed even further?
“How will the education infrastructure reach us by increasing the age of marriage?” ask girls from Alwar, Rajasthan.
In the first chapter of our quarterly series, we explore the impending change in the legal marriageable age of women in India through the lens of education.
The first season of Amplify explores the impending change in the legal marriageable age of women in India.
