A marriage which is solemnized in contravention with prescribed age of marriage, by the General Laws. International Covenants such as The Convention on Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and Convention on the Rights of Children (CRC) have prescribed the minimum age for marriage. In India, The Child Marriage (Restraint) Act, 1929 and now the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 has prescribed the age of marriage which is 18 for girls and 21 for boys. In India, Child Marriage can be solemnized as per the respective personal laws and as such for the purpose of “solemnization” of child marriage, there is no single law.
