MAHAKUMBH NAGAR (PRAYAGRAJ): Claiming delayed marriage among Hindus as one of the reasons for ‘decreasing Hindu population’, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has given a nationwide call that both young Hindu men and women should get married latest by the age of 25 as it was a necessity today.

A resolution in this regard was passed in the second session on the first day of a three-day VHP’s Central Board of Trustees meeting at Parishad’s camp in Sector 18 of Mahakumbh Nagar on Friday, said VHP joint general secretary Dr Surendra Jain.

National spokesperson for VHP Vinod Bansal said, “As per Vedic principles, 25 is the right age for entering ‘Grihastha Ashram’ (family life) and hence the resolution to appeal to the youth, be they males or females, to get married by that age was passed.”
