Manish Kumar And Another vs State Of U.P. And 7 Others on 31 May, 2021

"50. Nextly, coming to the question whether a minor could be said to have reached the aged of the discretion, we may refer to Section 17(3) of the Guardians and Wards Act which states that one of the matters to be considered by the Court in appointing guardian is, if the minor is old enough to form an intelligent preference, the Court may consider that preference also. Whether a minor has attained the intelligent preference is a question of fact which depends upon the capacity of the minor in each case. It cannot be put in a straight-jacket formula. As per the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court though the wish of the minor is also a factor to be taken into consideration by the Court while deciding the custody of the minor, it is not the only matter which is to be taken into consideration. Therefore, the minor cannot walk away to her whims and fancies from the lawful guardianship of her parents. At this juncture, we may refer to the Tamil Nadu Juvenile Justice [Care and Protection of Children] Rules, 2001 wherein Rule 18 states as follows:

R.Thiagarajan vs ) The Superintendent Of Police on 3 September, 2014

9. Marriage is sacred. It is not a contract as per Hindu Law. Consent cannot be thrust on those who have completed 18 years in the case of female, and male, above 21 years. But a marriage between a male above 21 years and a girl, below 18 years is an offence under the provisions of the Prohibition of Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1929. After considering the provisions in various enactments, a Hon'ble Full Bench of this Court in T.Sivakumar vs. Inspector of Police, reported in 2011 (4) MLJ (Crl) 315, held that the male who has committed an offence under the provisions of the Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1929, is not entitled to enjoy the fruits of such offence and seek for custody of a minor. Judicial notice can be taken that in Habeas Corpus Petitions, these adolescents report that their marriage was solemnized in a temple, on their own. It may even be the wish of the parents to solemnize a marriage in a temple. But no parent would like his child walk away from the family and getting married on her/his own, in their absence.
