Since the boy is only 20 years and 1 month old, the marriage is considered child marriage under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006. It is illegal, and those involved can be punished with up to 2 years in jail or a fine up to ₹1 lakh. You can file a complaint with the police, Childline (1098), or District Magistrate, using the birth certificate and wedding invitation as evidence.
