Under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006, which of the following statements is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 5(4) allows the court to order maintenance for the child "by a party to the marriage or their parents or guardian". Custody turns on "the welfare and best interests of the child" under s. 5(2), not on who files, and access under s. 5(3) is a matter for the court's directions, not automatic.
