Section 13 of the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 begins with a non obstante clause. What is its effect?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 13(1) opens "Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Act", so its non obstante clause gives the injunction power priority over other provisions of the same Act. The override of the CrPC is in s. 15, and s. 13(1) does not refer to personal law or to other laws generally.
