At the time when these Army instructions were formulated, the socio-economic realities in the country were such, wherein, at the age group of 20-25 years, a large number of males are married.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Under such circumstances, not permitting married males would have reduced the eligible candidates to less than half,&#8221; the government has said in its affidavit in which it has also stated that from 1992, women were being inducted in the Army as the socio-economic realities had changed and both sexes were opting for careers before settling down.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thus, there was no dearth of eligible candidates, both male and female, for commission into the Indian Army,&#8221; it has said.<\/p>\n<p>The government has also said that there is no bar on male and female officers getting married after being commissioned into the service. The prohibition is there only during the training period and first year of service.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for this is &#8212; non-eligibility of officers, up to the age of 25 years, for married accommodation.<\/p>\n<p>The PIL is expected to come up for hearing on May 21, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The high court had earlier asked the Army how it could object to the recruitment of married women in JAG after the display by women fighter pilots and the BSF all-women bikers&#8217; contingent on the Republic Day.<\/p>\n<p>The JAG, responsible for dispensation of justice, handles varied legal issues of the force, including disciplinary and litigation cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Recruitment of married men and women into the Indian Army&#8217;s legal branch, JAG, will be expensive for the Centre as it will have to incur &#8220;heavy expenditure&#8221; to find replacements for such recruits when they are absent from training due to their marital obligations, the government has claimed in the Delhi High Court.
