The New Indian Express|May 07, 2023

Child marriage valid if woman fails to contest it after attaining 18, says HC

A Bench of justices M Dhandapani and R Vijayakumar took the stand in an order passed by it on a habeas corpus petition filed by one Ilavarasan, alleging that his 21-year-old wife has been illegally detained by her family as they got married against her family's wishes.

The judges noted that the woman was already married to her relative when she was a minor and neither she nor her parents had challenged the said marriage so far. Hence, the marriage that took place between her and Ilavarasan on April 24, 2023, is invalid, since the earlier marriage is still not void, the judges held.
