Morning Walk — June 8, 1974, Geneva 740608MW-GENEVA [44:38 Minutes] Walk_740608MW-GENEVA Prabhupāda: ...Ignorances. They have opined, they have given the opinion that children born between the ages of twenty years and thirty-six years, they are healthy. But we have got experience that children born even at..., in India, twelve, thirteen years, they were healthy. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: They were what, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Satsvarūpa: The parents were twelve or thirteen. The children were healthy. But this magazine said that children are healthy if the parents are from twenty-one to thirty-six. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Oh.
In the Bhāgavatam, you said that by the age of sixteen a girl should be married, or twenty-four for a man. We were just reading that...
Prabhupāda: That is the maximum. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: We were just reading that.
Prabhupāda: The point is that supposing this twenty to thirty-six years is nice age... For women. But before twenty years, she is sacked, and her health is broken. What she'll produce, children?
Because this is... The girls, from twelve years, thirteen years nowadays, they begin sex. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: That's true.
Prabhupāda: Is it not? Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: That's true.
