h4 Visa for under 18 wife

[mdabdul]

Hi All,

A month back I got married to a 17.5 old girl due some personal reasons and now I am back to US.

Because of she is under 18 we have applied for the passport using her father's passport and I have got marriage certificate from Wakf board's Kazi Chennai-India as I heard Kazi's certificate is enough for US consulate.

In few days we will receive the passport for my wife, so my question is can I use that passport and the marriage certificate which I got from Kazi to send her for h-4 visa interview.

Please help me in this situation as we both miss each other

Thanks in advance for all your reply.

Your marriage would be illegal under US laws and she will not be able to get the Visa. I am not certain this is legal under Indian laws either.

It is valid in US as and this website
basically it says 16+ is valid with parents approval.

And about India I heard that it is valid by the Religious act law that 15+
