Solution

The correct option is C 21 years and 18 years respectively
As per section 2(a) of the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006, “child” means a person who, if a male, has not completed twenty-one years of age, and if a female, has not completed eighteen years of age. Hence, in India, the minimum age for the marriage of a boy and a girl is 21 years and 18 years respectively
