Child marriage prohibition applies to every religion, overrides Shariat law: Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court has ruled that the legislation prohibiting child marriage is universal across all religions and cannot be superseded by Shariat law. The court stated that the Shariat provision permitting marriage for girls after puberty is in direct conflict with both the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act (PCMA) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO). Furthermore, the court noted that these legal frameworks are grounded in scientific principles.
