The legal age of marriage for boy is 21 and girl is 18. If this criteria is not fulfilled then marriage is void... You need to wait till your brother completes 21 . No court or any authority can register the marriage.

The law prescribes the legal age ob boy to be 21 and of girl to be 18. so like in case of your brother legally he cannot marry. court marriage is not possible as no court would violate the law. so you advice your brother and family to wait till he is 21.

As per my opinion, they can marry as the age of marriage is a kind of advisory in nature and not binding upon the individuals marrying. However, none of them must be below the age of 18 years and their consent must not have been obtained by fraud or coercion.
