Legal Question in Family Law in India

Minimum legal age to marry

Two parties maried in India about two years ago now live in UK and wish to ''divorce''; no Indian marriage certificate was issued as the girl was said to be under age and instead two witnesses present at the ceremony signed statutory declarations confirming their presence.The parents consented to the marriage and were also present

What is the minimum legal age of marriage in India and is this marriage valid without an Indian marriage certificate?

Thanks

Dear Friend,

I am sorry, but as a matter of practise, we do not reply to queries from the persons, who do not give their complete details, nor to the persons not directly affected by the problem under the query. We also do not give any citations to the seekers.

Therefore we request you to send your query only through the query form at the Free legal advice pages of the vakilbabu website at http://www.vakilbabu.com quoting the reference LawGuru.com.
