Can I take a legal action against my brother's marriage
24-Apr-2023 (In Family Law)
My ten year younger brother (who is 26 years old), has got married to my wife's married elder sister (who has also a 13 year old child) and has got married against the wishes of family members.Is it under Hindu Marriage Act / Rule? Is it right? Can I take some legal action?
As you say that your younger brother marry with your sister in law who is a minor is punishable Under Indian penal code.Marriage of a person with a girl whose age is below 18 is voidable. It will subsist until it is annulled by a court under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, the Madras High Court.

Under Hindu Law this marriage does not come under prohibited relations and both the persons are major.In my view you are not in position to take any legal action against them. Moreover now they have married.
