💨 Abstract

The Allahabad High Court has nullified a 2004 child marriage between a man who was 12 and a girl who was 9 at the time. The court ordered the man to pay his "wife" Rs 25 lakh and declared the marriage void. The judgment was passed after the man filed an appeal against the family court's decision. The high court found that the man was eligible to file the suit and had done so within the limitation period.
