Provisions for Marrying legally

How can a male will called major if he is just 19 yrs.old?????????

In general they can not provided that their customs allow them

Male below 21 is called child but above 18 is considered major!

In 2008 205th report for child marriage protection act 2006 it was recomended that the age of male sholud be made 18 years

Sir, 18 years is called the age of majority. But for marriage, the boy should have attained 21 years of age, legally. 

@ suchitra, totally agreed, thats the question if this marriage is solemenised in which the girl is of legal age for marrying but the boy isn't what action can be taken against boy or the couple?

I dont think anything can be done. Jab miya biwi raazi to kya karega kazi.....    :) 

@suchitra.. As you are studying law so must be knowing better but this is india.. Don't you think that girls parent can do something as if a boy(above 21 years) marries a girl below 18 years there is rigrours punishment so there must be some law for vise versa, a case like this?

@pranjal.. But what if girl is of legal age and boy has married her on his own will..

The provision made in the THE PROHIBITION OF CHILD MARRIAGE ACT, 2006 is to prevent Child marriage. 

Sec 3 of the Act Says That  Child marriages to be voidable at the option of contracting party being a child.

I know child marriages are only voidable and so, still there are child marriages going on in the country. If both the partners are willing to live together, there will be no problem. And according to law, they are majors for all other purposes.

A Party was Under the Age of Consent - If you were married while you are under the legal age, your marriage may be annulled. The legal age for boys is 21 years and for girls is 18 years. A marriage by an underage party may become legally binding and incapable of annulment if the cohabitation of the parties as husband and wife continues voluntarily after the person reached the age of consent.

What does this mean exactly, in simple common man's language

@ Rohit,

There are several Citations where such things were carried on means given legitamacy under protection of Court ONLY when both parties to such marriage VOLUNTAILY give consent. In given brief one has to make sure that the GIRL should not back out of after such marriage PERIOD.

So if the girl does not backout and both girl and boy have their consent, is boy and his accquantances safe from legal actions by girls parents.

Will cout give this marriage legal stauts?
