Which of the following correctly states the scope of Section 12 of the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 12 concerns the aggravated circumstances it enumerates, including removal from lawful keeping, force or deceit, and sale or trafficking connected with marriage. Its nullity does not depend on a conviction. Section 3 gives the ordinary voidability rule; section 14 separately makes marriages in breach of injunctions void.
