A.Dear Client,
Marriage between a Hindu girl and a Muslim boy is governed under Hindu law, Muslim Law, and the Special Marriage Act, 1954. "Special Marriages" or "Inter-religious marriages," are valid regardless of the couple's previous religious beliefs. The Special Marriage Act, which regulates these partnerships, makes it possible for inter-faith couples or individuals who seek marriage without the constraints of personal laws. The most ideal way would be for both partners to get their marriage registered under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. It is an individual's right to decide who they want to marry and this has been upheld by the Supreme Court as well, regardless of their religion or caste. For such a marriage to take place, certain requirements/conditions must be met. Amongst other conditions, the male has to complete the age of 21 years and the female has to complete the age of 18 years; As required under the Act, you did not reach the marriageable age of 21 years as per your Aadhar Card, so, you cannot marry now.

A.Dear Sir,
The increase in minimum age of marriage for women to 21 years as provisioned in the Prohibition of Child Marriage Amendment Bill, 2021, would come into effect two years after the Bill is notified following its passage in Parliament, the government said on Wednesday. This gap would provide ample time to citizens to prepare for this “momentous” reform, it added.
