If the male was above 18 and below 21, then the maximum punishment is imprisonment for 15 days or a fine of Rs.1,000 or both. Women cannot be imprisoned under the Act, nor can minor children who get married be punished. The district court has the power to issue an injunction to prevent a child marriage from being solemnised after giving notice to the parties involved to argue against the injunction

The Bill says that if there are children born out of a child marriage, the child will be considered a legitimate child, the custody of the child will be decided based on the best interests of the child, and that one of the parties to the marriage or their guardians have to pay maintenance for the child. The Bill says that the male contracting party or his guardian has to pay maintenance to the female contracting party until her re-marriage.
The Bill makes child marriage a cognisable and non-bailable offence. Under the Bill, any male above the age of 18 marrying a female child will be punished with imprisonment for two years, or a fine of Rs.1 lakh, or both. Parents and guardians and a person who performs, conducts or directs a child marriage can be punished with imprisonment for three months and a fine.
