Why does the National Population Policy emphasize increasing the marriage age of girls?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To reduce early population growth and improve health

Direct answer: A, to reduce early population growth and improve health. Delaying marriage generally gives a girl more time for education and personal development. It can also delay the beginning of childbearing, reduce the likelihood of closely spaced births and support safer motherhood when combined with proper health services. These outcomes are connected with population stabilisation and family welfare. A is correct because it includes both the demographic and health reasons. B is wrong because marriage age has no direct purpose of selling agricultural land. C is wrong because it does not aim to empty cities. D is wrong because river direction is a physical-geography and water-management issue. The policy encourages informed, voluntary and health-based decisions, not a punishment. Memory cue: later marriage supports education, health and planned families.
