Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana: Will marriage lock or unlock your SSY account?
Mint 1 hr ago·7 Sept 2026, 10:50 am
The Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) is a popular small-savings scheme for a girl child. A common question is whether marriage affects this account. The simple answer is that the account does not automatically close when the girl turns 18 and gets married. However, the rules do change. If the account holder marries after turning 18, the account can be closed prematurely. This is subject to specific conditions and timelines set by the government, meaning the account is not permanently locked by the marriage itself.
