I was under a perception that before the age of 18 years a person can not get married legally. But section 2 of the Indian Majority act says........
""2. Saving.- Nothing herein contained shall affect:--
(a) the capacity of any persons to act in the following matters (namely),-- marriage, dower, divorce and adoption;
(b) the religion or religious rites and usages of any class of 7[ citizens of India]; or
(c) the capacity of any person who before this Act comes into force has attained majority under the law applicable to him.""
Does that mean that a person before the age of 18 years can get married legally/Is this true for both girls and boys or is there some difference(of age) between the boys and girls for getting married legally???
I do actually wanna know what is the legal age for a boy or a girl for getting married or doing some other legal works like signing property documents etc...
Please help...
