Which of the following best describes the nature of Section 3 of the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 3 gives the child party the option to annul the marriage and orders the return of gifts and money, so it is a beneficial and remedial provision for the child. It creates no offence, which the Act does in ss. 9 to 11, and it confers a substantive right rather than only procedure.
