Nope. As i said the marriage is voidable. Sexual relationships during chikd marriage aren't allowes under the new act and fall under marital rape.
There was a case like this where the girl waa minor and the guy aas adult..
Court specifically said that such a maffiage is not a valid marriage but it is also not invalid 😆
As i explained before, the said minor has the right to nullify the marriage within two years when he/she attains majority.
And, if the parents of such minor wants then they can have the minor 's custody.
Plus the one you are talking about onky appliies to males.
