Sir, whenever an adult male gets married to a minor girl he can be punished for a period of
two years and a heavy fine is levied. This is mention under Section 10 of the Prohibition of
Child Marriage Act 2006 and is a very serious crime. In this regard, and as the police is not
taking due action, it is advised that you may file a private complaint under Section 200 of the
Cr.Pc. directly before a Magistrate (a court of criminal jurisdiction) who in turn would direct
the police authorities to carry out an investigation and submit a report. He then would
summon the defendants and issue arrest warrant of the male if they do not present themselves
in court.
