Personal Law Will Not Override POCSO Act, Child Marriage Restraint Act : Karnataka High Court The Karnataka High Court has said that "though second marriage is permissible under the Mohammedan Law, but the personal law cannot override the Special Law of POCSO, Child Marriage Restraints Act and General Penal Code of this Country." The court added "Apart from the provisions of Section 375 of IPC, it will send a wrong message to the Society. Therefore, in the interest of the public at large and with an intention to curtail such types of sexual offences, the Court shall ignore the consent of a minor girl giving 'no objection' for granting bail to the accused and the Court should deal with such an heinous offence with an iron hand."
