Rūpānuga: In this country the father and the mother, they tell the daughter that, "You go out and bring a husband home. You go out and find a young boy and bring him home." And they make them go out in the street to find a husband.
Prabhupāda: I know that. Sometimes they are advised to do business. I know. When, in our Society, in the beginning, I started marriage, the father, mother, did not like. Nowadays it has become custom, in India also, let the girl have many friends, but don't marry unless you find out suitable man. Society degrades. Actually the Indian system is that when the girl is utmost twelve years, not more than that, ten to twelve years, she must be married. And the father would see. Not necessarily in every case the boy is rich man or educated. If he's healthy and if he can work, he'll take charge. Then fortune, faith.
Rūpānuga: That is responsible.
Bṛṣākapi: How should we do this in our ISKCON Society with these young girls?
Prabhupāda: Of course, we are not very much concerned with the social affair, but still, if we can organize society, that will be very good. That will be peaceful.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Might be possible on the farms.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Away from the bad social environment of the cities.
Prabhupāda: Anyway, system is the boys and girls should be married earlier, and they should work, and there should be no divorce. But whether your country law will allow, that is another difficulty. You may introduce something, but the state law may not approve of it.
