Question

CollectorBabu · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: 1 only. King Akbar fixed 16 years for boys and 14 years for girls as the accurate age of marriage. Akbar interested himself in the reform of marriage customs. He abhorred marriages before the age of puberty, and also considered marriages between near relations highly improper. He disapproved of large dowries but admitted that they acted as a preventative to rash divorces. Nor does His Majesty approve of everyone marrying more than one wife; for this ruins the man's health, and disturbs the peace of the home. Akbar had not given the freedom to girls to marry at their own will and not under parental pressure.
