In India, even when girls - and boys - were “married” at a young age, they never lived together, or practically even saw each other, until puberty. Not saying that 14 year olds should marry - but young girls were not traditionally married to grown men; children were officially “married” but then lived at home with parents until of age. Gandhi and his wife were married when they were both 16, don’t know if they had some sort of familial ceremony when younger.
Please do not compare Islamic practices with Hindu practices.
I hope this movie bombs pathetically. I mean, no one wants to see it!
I understand, from my readings in Indian history, that laws had to be passed by the Raj (and forced on some of the Princely States), concerning the age of marriage and the age of consent. This seems to have been a particular issue with respect to Royal or Princely marriages.
