Under classical Muslim law a minor, meaning a person who has not attained puberty, cannot contract a marriage; the guardian (wali) contracts it, so in a conflict the law gives priority to the "Guardian". After puberty the person's own consent governs (Mohd Nihal v State, 2008), and marriages below the statutory ages are also subject to the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act 2006.

Current law: For marriages covered by the Uttarakhand UCC from 27 January 2025, section 4(iii) specifies twenty-one years for the man and eighteen for the woman, and section 32 links age-condition contraventions to the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act 2006. Guardian consent cannot dispense with these conditions.
