In Delhi, a boy can marry at the age of 21 years. According to the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006, males should be at least 21 years old, and females should be at least 18 years old. Both parties must give free consent and cannot be related to each other in any prohibited degree. These age requirements need to be followed by the marriage so it is considered valid and legally acceptable in India as both the spouses are of a sound mind and can understand all the implications of getting married.

In Delhi, the age of a boy is legally allowed to marry is 21 years. The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 provides for the minimum age for males to marry at 21 and for females to marry at 18 years. Both parties to the marriage should give free and willing consent to get married, and also should not be related to each other in any degree of prohibited relationship. It is, therefore, necessary to meet these age requirements so that the marriage can be valid and recognized by the authorities. Moreover, the court marriage process will require proper documentation, such as proof of age and identity.

Sir, in India, the age of majority is 18 years and is considered legally an adult and has the right to make their own decisions, including where they choose to live. Therefore, the girl has the legal right to leave her family and choose to live independently. The police will typically support her decision if she is not under duress or facing any form of harm.
