What is the legal age of a girl and a boy to perform court marriage?
Can a court marriage be legally performed if the boy is 18+ years old and the girl is 17 years old?
In India, a court marriage cannot be legally performed when the boy is 18 years of age and the girl is 17 years of age. As per the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006, the minimum age for marriage is 21 years for males and 18 years for females. In case the marriage is held between persons below the prescribed ages, it is treated as illegal and voidable. This law safeguards children from early marriage irrespective of their parent's consent; therefore, there must be proof of reaching the minimum age from both parties for the law to legalize the marriage.
In India, a court marriage is invalid if the boy is 18 years and the girl is 17 years. The minimum marriage age under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006, is 21 for males and 18 years for females. All the marriages that involve individuals of a lesser age are illegal, ultra vires, and voidable. Even with parental consent, the law does not allow for marriages under the specified age limits, hence the emphasis on the protection of minors from early marriage and risks associated with it.
