<p>Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has urged girls to marry at the age of 16, newspapers have reported.</p>
<p>The president criticised the current average age of marriage of 24 to 26.</p>
<p>The report by the state-owned Jam-e Jam quoted Ahmadinejad as saying: &#8220;We should take the age of marriage for boys to 20 and for girls to about 16 and 17.&#8221;</p>
<p>Other newspapers quoted the president as putting the best ages for girls to marry at 17 or 18.</p>
<p>There was no explanation on the discrepancy, which is typical Iranian media.</p>
<p>Ahmadinejad has long sought an increase of population, rejecting family planning as a Western import.</p>
<p>Critics say the policy will only exacerbate to the current 9% official unemployment rate.</p>
