Can false affidavit disqualify election candidate?
Whether an election candidate, born on 05/10/1993, who gave birth to her first child on 25/07/2010 at the age of around 16, has violated the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006, and whether such a violation, along with the submission of a false affidavit, can lead to her disqualification under current election laws?
The candidate, born on 05/10/1993, gave birth on 25/07/2010 at around 16 years of age, which suggests a violation of the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006. If she also submitted a false affidavit during nomination, she may face criminal charges under Section 125A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. Both offences can be grounds for disqualification from contesting elections under current election laws. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
