Why does the National Population Policy stress delaying marriage of girls?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To improve maternal and child health

Direct answer: Option A is correct. Delaying marriage gives a girl more time for physical and emotional maturity, education and preparation for adult responsibilities. It can also reduce the likelihood of pregnancy at a very young age, when health risks for both mother and baby may be greater. Thus, the policy connected delayed marriage with improved maternal and child health and family welfare. Option A is correct because it states the direct health-related reason. Option B is wrong because marriage timing is not intended to stop voting rights. Option C is wrong because increasing farming is not the policy purpose. Option D is wrong because marriage has no objective of reducing rainfall. The idea should be understood as health protection and informed family planning, not as punishment or discrimination. Memory cue: later marriage supports “health, education and preparedness.”
