Is it legal to marry a minor in India?
Is it legal for a man to marry a 16-year-old girl in India, considering the legal age for marriage under Indian law?
Dear client, According to the Prohibition of Child marriage Act of 2006 in India, a man must be 21 years old, women 18 years old to be married. Therefore, when the girl is 16 years old, then she is under the age limit of marriage and any marriage contracted here would be even considered legal and accepted. You must not marry her until she is age-wise to marry. If you have any query please feel free to contact us.
In India, the legal age for marriage is 21 years for men and 18 years for women as per the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006. So, if the girl is 16 years old, she is below the legal marriage age, and such a marriage would not be legally valid or recognized. You should wait until she reaches the legal age for marriage.
