Which principle underlies Sections 4 and 5 of the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 together?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 4 secures maintenance and residence for the female contracting party and s. 5 provides for the custody and maintenance of children of the marriage, so both rest on social welfare and child protection. Deterrence is the aim of the penal sections, and neither provision depends on personal law.
