In India, the legal age of marriage is 18 for women and 21 for men. A 16-year-old cannot legally marry under the Indian laws, including Muslim personal law. Even with parental consent, a marriage with someone underage is illegal and punishable. You must wait until she reaches the legal age. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
