When can a 20-year-old male legally marry in India?

Hi sir, I am 20 years old. Can I get married in a temple or court at this age? I also have questions regarding the implications of "living in" relationships.

In India, the legal age for marriage is 21 for men. As you are 20, you cannot legally marry until you reach the age of 21. If you choose to marry in a temple or court before that, it would be considered invalid under the law. Be sure to wait until you reach the legal age.
