Posted on 13th Jan 2023 04:30 pm by rohit kumar

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the petition of the National Child Rights Protection Commission regarding Muslim girls. The petition challenges the order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which said that a Muslim girl can marry a man of her choice after 15 years.

 

The apex court has issued notice to the Haryana government and others in this matter. The Court has said that the decision of the High Court should not be considered a precedent in other cases. The High Court's judgment said that according to the Muslim Personal Law, a Muslim girl can legally enter into marriage after completing 15 years of age.

A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice PS Narasimha said, "We agree to consider these writ petitions." Pending further orders, the decision of the High Court will not be considered a precedent.

 

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the court that 14, 15, and 16-year-old Muslim girls are getting married. In such a case, can a punishable offense be protected by Muslim personal law? In fact, according to Islamic law, the age of puberty is 15 and after that girls can be married.
