BHAGWATI @ REENA vs ANIL CHOUBEY

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision, which had upheld the annulment of the marriage between the appellant and respondent based on the claim that the appellant was a minor at the time of marriage, violating Section 5(iii) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The Court found that the appellant was indeed 18 years old on the date of marriage, thus holding that the marriage was valid. The Court emphasized that the High Court erred in its conclusion regarding the appellant's age and the circumstances surrounding the marriage.
