Child marriages in India
Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 (PCMA 2006) defines a ‘child marriage’ as one where either of the two parties is a child. A “child” is defined as a woman below 18 years of age, and a man below 21. This law renders a “child marriage” voidable by a party who petitions court. |
