A.Hi,
The Prohibition of Child marriage Act, 2006 defines the term ‘child’ to be the one who had not completed 21 years of age if it was a male and one who had not completed 18 years in case of a female. If the boy and the girls gets married it will not be a valid marriage as per the Hindu Marriage or the Special Marriage Act whichever applicable in the present scenario. The boy has to attain 21 years to legally marry. Please rate us if you found this helpful.

A.Hi,
The Prohibition of Child marriage Act, 2006 defines the term ‘child’ to be the one who had not completed 21 years of age if it was a male and one who had not completed 18 years in case of a female. But this Act could be invoked only if a woman marries the boy and not if she is in a live-in relationship without marrying him. If the boy marries then the marriage will not be valid as he has not attained the legally prescribed age for males. If you find this helpful please rate us.
