Prohibition of child marriage act states that a girl in india cannot marry before 18 years of age and boy in India cannot marry before 21 years of age. So Now in your case both of you are 18 years therefore it is not advisable to go ahead

Yes, the answer to this question lies in the Prohibition of child Marriage Act.
In our sovereign the age for young women to get married is 18 whereas the age for men to get married is 21 years.

Both these dates are valid as per the records available with the Municipal Corporation body. If after marriage the age of such men and women is not legally valid the said marriage would be considered void.

Also heavy penalties would be imposed as such people to the said marriage would be subjected to the Juvenile Justice Act, 2000 since it will be deemed as a crime. The penalty could be a simple fine or dissolution of marriage through a court order.

No. The boy has to be 21 years old. You have not written the relation between you. You can only go for marriage if you are not sapinda. marriage in close relation is also prohibited. meet your Advocate.
