Marriage abroad
Refer to .
The Child Marriage Restraint Act 1929, as amended in 1984, sets the minimum age for marriage as twenty-one for men and eighteen for women. The legislation provides penal sanctions, including potential imprisonment for up to one month, a fine of up to one thousand Taka, or both, for those who knowingly participate in the contracting or solemnizing of an under-age marriage, but the Act does not invalidate such marriages. However, the codification of these age limitations has done little to prevent underage brides.
