For the purpose of Muslim marriage, the age when a person reaches puberty is considered as the age of puberty. According to Hedaya, the age of Puberty for female is 9 years and for male, it is 12 years. The Privy Council in the case of Muhammad Ibrahim v. Atkia Begum & Anr.[ii] held that under Muslim law, a girl is considered to have attained the age of puberty if: (a) she has attained the age of 15 Years, or (b) attaining the state of puberty at an earlier age. The same rule is also applicable to a Muslim Boy. Thus, it can also be said that in absence of any contrary, a Muslim is considered to have attained the age of puberty at 15 years. After attaining the age of 15, parties can give their own consent and there is no need of consent of guardians.
