Can false affidavit disqualify election candidate?
An election candidate, born on 05/10/1993, gave birth to her first child on 25/07/2010, at the age of around 16. Has she violated the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006? If so, can this violation, along with the submission of a false affidavit, lead to her disqualification under current election laws?
If the candidate had a child at 16, it likely violates the Child Marriage Act. If she also submitted false information in her election affidavit, that can be legally challenged. You can report this to the Election Commission. A lawyer can help you file a formal complaint or legal challenge. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
