Concerning removing the exception that authorizes a minor who is sixteen years old or older to marry with judicial approval.
Bill Summary:
Current law requires an individual to be at least 18 years old in order to obtain a marriage license; except that a minor who is 16 or 17 years old may obtain a marriage license with judicial approval. The bill repeals this exception, therefore requiring that an individual be at least 18 years old to obtain a marriage license.
