Under section 12(c) of the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006, a marriage becomes void if:

Section 12(c) applies where the minor "is sold for the purpose of marriage; and made to go through a form of marriage or if the minor is married after which the minor is sold or trafficked or used for immoral purposes". Sale either before or after the marriage is covered; trafficking with no marriage at all is not a marriage that s. 12 can make void.
