Will a bone test be required to correct birth date?

Sir/Madam, I am currently 20 years old, and I will turn 21 this July. My problem is that my date of birth is incorrect on my 10th-grade marksheet. This year, my partner's parents are trying to arrange her marriage, as she will turn 18 in June. I am in a big dilemma. Will a bone check be required in this situation, or could you suggest another solution?

No, there is no such provision for a bone test because the bone test is considered to be inaccurate because the bone assessment differs due to nutritional, genetic, and other ethical reasons, so I suggest you make an application to the school board to make a correction by giving an application; they will suggest to you the correct way through which you can make a correction in your date of birth.

To correct your date of birth on your 10th-grade mark sheet, contact your school or board with supporting documents like your birth certificate. Bone age tests are not typically required unless there's doubt about your age. For your partner’s marriage, the legal age for women is 18, and for men, it is 21. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
