Personal laws that govern marriage and other personal practices for communities prescribe certain criteria for marriage, including age of the bride and groom. For example, Section 5(iii) of The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, sets a minimum age of 18 for the bride and 21 for the groom

As per your query

Previously the age of marriage for women was 18 years and for men it was 21 years. recently there is an amendment in law with respect to the age of marriage for womens which has been raised to 21 years. The male person should complete 21 years for marriage and only thereafter the marriage can be entered into, otherwise the said marriage will not be a valid marriage.
