He said women who have hit the age of 25, and are yet unmarried, are not fit to marry as they've had multiple relationships by then. In the original Hindi, his language was more colloquial: 'Ladki laate hain 25 saal ki. Ab 25 saal ki ladki chaar jagah munh maar chuki hoti hai. (Men are bringing wives who are 25.
