The marriage can be registered by their parents or guardians within the 30 days of the ceremony. The amendment to the Rajasthan Compulsory Marriage Act 2009 had led to protest from oppositions and activists who said that the bill encouraged Child Marriage in the state. For women, the legal age for marriage in India is 18 years while for men it is 21 years. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that the government will urge Governor Kalraj Mishra to return the marriage bill and it will be re-examined by experts.
