A.Hi,
It will amount to child marriage and it is a punishable offense. The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act of 2006 prohibits the solemnization of marriage of a boy who is less than 21 years of age and a girl who is less than 18 years of age.

A.Hi,
Please contact a lawyer and brief your issue. Legally speaking, a marriage in which a girl is below 18 years of age will amount to child marriage and it is a punishable offense.
