Be a Good Citizen, live by the law and enforce the law.
Many a times the laws are different here in comparison to your native land.

The marriageable age in India for men is 21 yrs and for women is 18 yrs as per the constitution of India http://lawmin.nic.in/coi/coiason29july08.pdf.
While it is as follows in Canada it depends on the Province or the Territory.
In all provinces the minimum age requirement for marriage with parental consent is 16; it is 15 in the three territories. The minimum age without parental consent varies. In Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, PEI, Quebec and Saskatchewan it is age 18. In the rest of Canada it is 19.
To convict a person of a criminal offence in Canada, the Crown must usually prove that two elements existed at the time the offence was committed:
The Act itself and the intention to commit the act. In latin it is called Actus reus and Mens Rea.
The Canadian criminal justice system has two fundamental principles:
An accused person is innocent until proven guilty and guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
