The Government of India has enacted the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act (PCMA) 2006, which extends to all the States and Union Territories of India except the State of Jammu & Kashmir. The Act also applies to all citizens of India without and beyond India.

 

Under the PCMA 2006, every child marriage is voidable at the option of the contracting party who was a child at the time of the marriage, within two years of the child attaining majority.
