MUSLIMS THEORY OF MARRIAGE
Nikah (marriage) according to the Muslims is a civil contract and no religious ceremony is necessary to bring about this relationship. What is necessary is the agreement between the parties arising out of proposal and its acceptance. Contractual capacity for purposes of marriage is governed not by the Indian Majority Act, 1875 but by Muslims law itself, which confers contractual capacity on attainment of puberty. It is presumed that on completion of 15 years of age, a person attains puberty. If a person is of sound mind and has attained puberty his/her marriage cannot be performed without his/her) consent.
