Association for Social Justice Research v. Union of India 2010 (118) DRJ 324(DB)
A father married his 11–12 year old daughter to an adult man. When an NGO intervened, the father and “husband” argued that no money had been exchanged and that the girl would have a better life in marriage. The Court held that marriage of a minor girl is presumptively invalid unless the girl decides otherwise when she reaches 18 years of age.
