Dear Client,
Section 5 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 laid down the conditions of a valid marriage and amongst others, as per Section 5(iii) of the Act, a marriage may be solemnized between any two Hindus, if the bridegroom has completed the age of twenty-one(21) years and the bride, the age of eighteen(18) years at the time of the marriage; Therefore, being the bride's age 17 years at the time solemnization of marriage about 31 years ago and after the enactment of the Hindu Marriage Act, the registration of such a marriage even solemnized following rituals is impermissible being void under the law and also being prohibited under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006.
