12:58Now PlayingAccording to ‘Muslim Personal Law,’ a Muslim girl is free to marry anyone of her choice once she reaches puberty. The Indian High Court recently upheld this law. The court’s ruling came after a Muslim couple filed with the court, pleading for protection from threatening relatives. A Muslim woman (age 17) and a Hindu man (age 36) recently married, according to Muslim rituals, on January 21st. As the judge pointed out, Article 195 of the ‘Muslim Personal Law’ provides that every Mohammedan (Muslim) being of sound mind and having reached puberty may join their chosen spouse in matrimony. Justice Alka Sarin quoted from Article 195, saying, "In case the evidence is unavailable or uncertain, the completion age of 15 should be considered as puberty age." The law about the minimum age for marriage specifies it is 18 years old for females and age 21 for males, as it is written in two separate acts of the Indian parliament.
