The Punjab and Haryana High Court has said that a minor Muslim girl who has attained puberty was at liberty to marry anyone as per the Muslim Personal Law.
Referring to Article 195 of Muslim Personal Law, the court said, Lunatics and minors who have not attained puberty may be validly contracted in marriage by their respective guardians. Marriage of a Muslim having a sound mind and who has attained puberty is void if it is brought about without his or her consent.
