Child marriage stands as a stark infringement upon the fundamental rights of children, leading to profound and enduring consequences that impede their educational pursuits, endanger their health, and constrain their future prospects. Recognizing the urgent need to combat this societal scourge, India enacted The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 (PCMA) as a pivotal instrument in safeguarding its youth. At Bikram S. Sidhu – GLAS Law Firm, we steadfastly oppose this practice and empower individuals and families to leverage the protective measures enshrined in the PCMA.
Our dedicated legal team offers a comprehensive array of services to navigate the legal intricacies surrounding the PCMA. We specialize in facilitating annulment proceedings and providing support to victims of child marriage, or their representatives, within the two-year window following attaining the age of 18. With meticulous attention to detail, our skilled lawyers guide clients through the annulment process, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience. Moreover, we adeptly explore avenues for securing maintenance and residence rights as stipulated by the Act, thereby safeguarding our clients’ well-being and financial security as they move forward.
In recognition of the vulnerability of children born from such unlawful unions, we provide invaluable legal counsel concerning child custody and maintenance matters. Our team prioritizes the welfare of the child, tirelessly advocating for their best interests by navigating the complexities of child custody arrangements and securing appropriate financial support. We are committed to ensuring that the rights and needs of these children are not overshadowed by the circumstances of their birth.
The PCMA not only prohibits child marriages but also prescribes penalties for individuals who actively participate in, promote, or permit such unions. Should you possess knowledge of an impending child marriage or have been a victim of abetment, we empower you to take decisive legal action. Our lawyers meticulously build cases, filing complaints and pursuing legal remedies against perpetrators. By holding individuals accountable for their actions, we strive to deter future occurrences and dismantle the networks that perpetuate this harmful practice.
Eradicating child marriage demands a multifaceted approach that extends beyond the courtroom. At Bikram S. Sidhu – GLAS Law Firm, we believe in fostering community awareness as a pivotal tool for effecting lasting change. Collaborating with NGOs and social organizations, we undertake initiatives to educate communities about the dangers of child marriage, its legal ramifications under the PCMA, and the available resources for those in need. Through targeted workshops and seminars, we aim to empower individuals to recognize and challenge this practice, fostering a culture of child protection within communities.
Our team of experienced and empathetic lawyers is committed to listening to your concerns with compassion and providing comprehensive legal guidance tailored to your specific circumstances. We understand the sensitive nature of child marriage cases and pledge to treat your case with the utmost discretion and respect.
