The Delhi High Court has ruled that marrying a minor under Muslim personal law does not exempt an accused from prosecution under the POCSO Act. The case involved a man who had married a 16-year-old girl and sought legal protection citing religious personal law.

The court stressed that marriage under personal law cannot override statutory child protection laws. The ruling reinforces that legal safeguards for minors remain absolute regardless of religious customs or the minor's stated consent.
