VHP Urges All Hindus To Marry By 25, Say 'No' To Live-In Relationships

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Friday appealed to Hindu men and women to get married latest by the age of 25 and encouraged families to have at least two or three children, citing delayed marriage among Hindus as one of the reasons for "decreasing Hindu population".

PRAYAGRAJ:

The right-wing organisation also passed a resolution during the meeting of its central board of trustees at the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, urging the Hindu youth to come forward to check "population imbalance" in the country, VHP joint general secretary Surendra Jain said.

"The situation would cast multidimensional effect. Hindus are the identity of this country. If the number of Hindus decreases, it would certainly result in crisis over the identity and existence of the country. To check this situation, Hindu youths will have to come forward," Jain told reporters.
