What is the distance of age in husband and wife. Know how much difference should be made .

 

It is known that Sharma ji's daughter-in-law is older than his son… If the girl is older, then it cannot be a relationship… There should be a difference between the age of a boy and girl, only then the marriage plays… There are many beliefs and ideologies in our society even today regarding the husband-wife relationship.

One of them is that the husband should be older than his wife. But today, where thinking, costumes and lifestyle are changing rapidly, does the age difference really matter? Is it really necessary for the balance of age between husband and wife for the success of marriage? Recent studies do not believe so. According to studies, both men and women have started giving preference to the younger partner from their age. The report of the study on this issue has been published in the magazine called Journal Proceedings of National Academy of Science. This study on 4500 pairs found that men and women aged 30 to 35 are preferring to choose a partner five to ten years younger than themselves. He believes that understanding, respect and love are the most important to make marriage successful.

How much is the gap

In our homes, the name of the man often runs at the place of the head. Perhaps this is the reason that in most families, a big husband is still taken from his wife for two to seven years. It has also been observed that when the husband is slightly older than the wife, the society easily accepts her. However, many recent studies show that for the success of the relationship, more mentality between husband and wife and thinking towards life matters. The age difference between some couples is up to ten years, yet their marriage is very strong. At the same time, some of our couples also have estrangement.

Who is older, husband or wife?

This question can fill the whole atmosphere throughout the atmosphere. If the husband is older, the society considers him normal. But if the wife becomes a few years older then it becomes a matter of big discussion. Probably because society considers men more responsible. However, the figures tell a different story. According to data, girls usually mature quickly than boys. Hormonal changes in girls begin between 7 and 13 years, while boys begin between 9 and 15 years. That is, in women, emotional stability and mental understanding develops quickly in women. Now the age limit is gradually changing. There are many examples from Bollywood to common life, where the wife is older than her husband and still the relationship is completely happy and successful. Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Khemu, Shirish Kunder and Farah Khan are examples of the fact that the success of the relationship was neither the measure of the success of the relationship nor can there

There is something else necessary from age

Age difference does not matter when both partners understand each other, respect and get their thoughts about life. Emotional maturity, life goals and preferences, respect-cooperation and better mutual dialogues matter more to strengthen a relationship. If they get thoughts and efforts about them, then it becomes easy to maintain the relationship. However, we cannot even ignore that in some cases age difference can also make the relationship astringent. For example, a young partner wishes to walk out, party or adventure and the other desire is to calm and stay in the house. Especially when the age difference is 10–15 years or more, the difference between the level of couple's health and energy can bring negativity in the relationship in a long time.

For a happy relationship

Relationship expert Geetanjali Sharma says that the foundation of the relationship gradually strengthens. This happens when both husband and wife try to understand each other well. Spend time together for this.

It is possible that both of you have different views on various issues due to the difference in age. It is better that both of you try to understand each other's perspective, only then mutual trust will increase and will help in knowing each other.

Due to more difference in age, it is possible that you do not understand each other's wishes. In such a situation, talk openly among themselves and share your expectations about the relationship.

Big partners at age can share their experience with the partner. In such a situation, the partner should listen to his experiences as a matter of work. At the same time, the partner should also do not let the partner down while sharing his experiences.

Age is not interested in wise. If a young partner says something, then the partner should give him importance, not try to show him that he does not know anything.

Hyderabad to host second women’s Kabaddi World Cup this August

 Hyderabad is set to host the second Women’s Kabaddi World Cup from August 3 to 10, 2025, at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, following a venue change from Bihar, which was originally slated to host the event in June.

“When Bihar pulled out, we requested the Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India to shift the event to Telangana, and they agreed,” said Kasani Veeresh, President of the Telangana Kabaddi Association to The Hindu. “This is a major opportunity to promote women’s kabaddi, even when it doesn’t receive the spotlight it deserves.”

India won the inaugural Women’s Kabaddi World Cup in 2012, defeating Iran in a thrilling final.

As the defending champions from the first edition, India will aim to retain the title on home soil.

A total of 14 countries are expected to participate this year. Alongside host India, Argentina, Bangladesh, Chinese Taipei, Germany, Holland, Iran, Japan, Kenya, Nepal, Thailand, Uganda, and Zanzibar have confirmed their entries. Poland is the only team yet to confirm.

This will be Hyderabad’s first international women’s kabaddi tournament since hosting the Asian Kabaddi Championship in 2005, marking a significant return for the sport in the city.

Former England player gave Gambhir to win the series ‘Gurumantra

 

Main point:

Discussion on whether India should feed Jasprit Bumrah in the fourth Test is intensified. David Lloyd has advised coach Gautam Gambhir that if India wants to win, it is necessary to include Bumrah in the team, especially when the series has now reached the decisive turn.

Delhi: Discussions about the availability of Jaspreet Bumrah before the fourth Test starting on July 23 in Manchester between India and England are intensified. Former England batsman and well-known commentator David Lloyd has advised the Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir on this issue.

India lost by 22 runs in the third Test at Lord’s. In this match too, Bumrah took five wickets, but the team did not win. Earlier, his five -wicket performance in the headingley also went in vain. Now India is behind 1-2 in the series.

David Lloyd gave opinion to Gambhir

Lloyd says that Gambhir should reconsider his plan regarding Bumrah. He said, “Gambhir had earlier said that Bumrah will play only three Tests. Now there are two and India has lost. If Bumrah plays in Manchester and India wins, then he will have to feed in the Oval Test too.”

Lloyd further said, “If England is ahead 3–1, Bumrah will probably get rest. But if the series is 2-2, India will field him again.”

India’s victory more than Bumrah’s playing

Lloyd also spoke on Bumrah’s figures. He said that some reports show that India wins more matches without Bumrah. But these figures are cheating.

Since his debut in 2018, India has won 19 out of 27 Tests without Bumrah. At the same time, he has got 20 wins in 47 matches played with him. But the thing to note is that without Bumrah, most of India’s victories have won on domestic pitches.

Bumrah’s impact big in SENA countries

The real influence of Bumrah appears in the SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia). Here India has won only two Tests without Bumrah. At the same time, India has won 10 in 33 Tests in SENA with Bumrah, which is about 30 percent winning figures.

Bumrah’s presence gives India an edge on sharp pitches. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether they play in the fourth Test or the team gives them rest again.

Custody Battle: SC Orders Lookout Notice For Missing Russian Mother, Child, Directs Passport Seizure

 

New Delhi, Jul 17 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Thursday directed senior Delhi Police officials to immediately trace a child of a Russian mother and an Indian father while asking the Centre to issue a look out notice with regard to the woman and the minor to ensure she did not leave the country.

A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi directed the authorities to seize her passport and inform all international airports and other ports within India, and the immigration authorities to ensure they did not leave the country.

The father is fighting a custody battle for the child with the estranged Russian wife and alleged she wasn't complying with the court's order of custody of the minor.

The man claimed being unaware of the whereabouts of his wife and the child since July 7.

The man was observed to have made several complaints but no action was taken.

"Father of the child apprehends that the petitioner has been facilitated to flee out of the jurisdiction of this court. She was statedly seen entering the Russian Embassy through a back door on July 4, 2025 along with a Russian diplomat, with whom she is alleged to have some relationship. It is further alleged that the police have failed to provide protection to the minor child, thereby defying the directions issued by this court," the bench said.

The top court, therefore, directed the Ministry of External Affairs officials to liaise with the relevant authorities in the Russian embassy and seek permission to enter into the residential premises of the diplomat, who was last seen in her company on July 4, 2025.

"Keeping in mind the comity, diplomatic relationship, and autonomy enjoyed on a reciprocal basis by different embassies, we are not issuing any directions in respect of the officers of the Russian Embassy in India. However, we do not hesitate to observe that if, on the basis of the police report, we find any diplomatic personnel attached or connected to the said embassy has prima facie committed an offence within the framework of the penal laws of this country, the law must take its own course." The bench for now advised the highest authority in the Russian embassy to assist the Indian authorities, including Delhi police to ensure directions of this court, issued from time to time, were not violated.

The top court further noted getting "very evasive and vague replies" upon inquiries made about the woman's whereabouts which raised "serious doubts" on the bonafide conduct of her counsel.

The bench's order was directed to be shared with Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, Delhi police commissioner for information and necessary compliance.

"The officials at the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of External Affairs, Union of India are also directed to communicate this order to all international airports and other ports within India, and the immigration authorities be intimated to ensure that neither the petitioner (woman) nor the minor child is permitted to leave the country," the order said.

The top court posted the hearing on July 18, when it asked the authorities concerned to file a status report.

The bench had previously remarked that in a "furious fight" between the husband and wife over the child, several speaking orders were passed by the court from time to time.

The top court on May 22, 2025 directed that the exclusive custody of the child was given to the mother for three days in a week on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and for the remaining days, the child was directed to remain in the exclusive custody of his father.

The mother of the child is a Russian citizen, who has been residing in India since 2019, initially coming to India on an X-1 Visa, which expired subsequently.

However, during the pendency of the court proceedings, the top court directed the extension of the visa from time to time.

On May 22, the top court directed the Deputy Commissioners of Police (South East and South) and the station house officers of Lajpat Nagar and Defence Colony Police stations to maintain a discreet but effective vigil over the residential premises of both parties.
