Under the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939 the option of puberty is available to

Section 2(vii) of the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939 gives the wife a ground for decree where, "having been given in marriage by her father or other guardian before she attained the age of fifteen years, she repudiated the marriage before attaining the age of eighteen years", provided it was not consummated.

The Act provides grounds for the wife alone; any option of puberty of the husband rests on general Muslim law, not on the Act, and the guardian's approval is not a condition.
