Can a teacher marry their student, and is it legally permissible for a teacher to marry their studen
08-Jul-2024 (In Family Law)
In India, there is no specific law prohibiting a teacher from marrying a student, but such a marriage is only legally permissible once the student has reached the age of majority 18 years for women and 21 years for men. While not explicitly illegal between consenting adults, these relationships often raise ethical concerns and may involve power imbalances, especially if the teacher holds authority over the student. If the student is a minor, the marriage would be illegal and could result in serious legal consequences, including criminal charges.
