What happens when my wife turns 18 after court marriage?
My wife and I got married on 15/03/2024. She is 17 years old, and I am worried about going to jail. What should I do? What will happen when she turns 18?
Sir, in India, the legal age for marriage is 18 for women and 21 for men and as your wife is 17, your marriage is considered legally invalid under the law. Marrying a minor can lead to legal consequences, including criminal charges. Once your wife reaches the age of 18, you can marry her legally, and your relationship can be formalized without legal issues. It's crucial to consult a family lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
