Claim: The BJP is proposing a law that allows individuals aged 15 and above to enter into relationships.
Fact-check: The BJP is not considering any legislation to decrease the minimum age for entering into relationships to 15 - FACTLY
Verdict: the recent uniform civil code  bill enacted by the uttarakhand legislature mandates that girls and boys can marry at ages 18 and 21, respectively. the ucc imposes up to six months of imprisonment for individuals engaged in a marriage where either parties are below the legal marriage age. in 2021, the union government introduced the prohibition of child marriage  bill, 2021, to increase the minimum marital age for girls from 18 to 21 years. these developments suggest that contrary to the viral claim, the bjp government is not seeking to decrease the minimum age for entering into relationships. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
