Minor girl marriage

This discussion addresses the complex situation of a husband who discovered his wife is a minor (17) after their marriage, believing in good faith she was of age. It clarifies that a 420 IPC charge against the minor wife or her parents is unlikely to succeed as the marriage is void by law. Furthermore, the husband's claim of good faith regarding her age is not a valid defence under Indian law, as ignorance of the law is not excusable.
