Acharya Prashant explains that the traditional practice of men marrying younger women is rooted in biological and social factors rather than love or spirituality. Biologically, girls often reach sexual maturity earlier than boys, leading to a calculation aimed at matching their sexual ages. Socially, a significant age gap allows men to exert dominance and control over women within patriarchal structures. A younger woman is often viewed as a long-term resource for sexual gratification, domestic labor, and childbearing, as her youth provides a longer window for these functions. These customs are described as exploitative practices designed by those in power, primarily men, to serve their own interests.
