In India, the legal age for marriage is 21 for men and 18 for women, as per the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act. Therefore, a 20-year-old boy can legally marry an 18-year-old girl. However, both parties must provide their consent, and the marriage should be registered to ensure it is legally recognized. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
