Dear,
A boy can't marry before completing 21 years of age as per Section 5 (iii) of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (Condition for a Hindu Marriage). The marriage between a minor boy and a major girl and a minor girl and major boy is a void marriage. It is natural that the boy's parents may contemplate criminal action against the girl and her family. The boy's parents can lodge a complaint with the police after which an FIR can be registered by the police against the girl and her family under Section 361,366 ( However, sections may differ). Therefore, it is advisable that the boy should complete 21 years of age before he marries to avoid legal trouble.
