Yes, it is legally permissible for a boy to marry a girl who is older, as long as both individuals meet the legal age requirements (18 years for the girl and 21 years for the boy). The law does not restrict marriage based on age difference, as long as both parties consent and are of legal age. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
