| Jun 12, 2022 at 10:44 | comment | added | ram | those who ask this question must also ask the corresponding question - "How old was RAMA at the time of marriage?" - Answer is Rama was 12. Proof - Vishvamitra asks Dasharath for taking Rama to protect Yagna. Dasharatha refuses saying Rama is 'oona shodasha varsha' - meaning, not even 16. it doesn't mean he was 15 and half. 16 years is the age requirement to be a 'major', to fight in battle, cos until then you're a kid. So Dasharatha is simply referencing the fact that Rama is not old enough to fight in battle, so he is pleading Vishvamitra not to take Rama to fight in battle. | |

The goal of early marriage was chastity (celibacy within marriage). They also would not have physical relations until they both came of age. | |
