Re: Child Marriage

You can file a civil suit for declaration that you have never consented for marriage as at that time you were a minor.

Re: Child Marriage

child marriage is illegal and has no relevance in law.

you are free and need not to give any divorce to her. yours is no marriage in the eyes of law.

however i will ask you to think about that poor girl who might have given her heart to you. and i would like to tell you that breaking heart of somebody is not good. anyway its your choice.
