Section A.  Section 451.090, RSMo 1994, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 451.090, to read as follows:

451.090.  1.  No recorder shall, in any event except as herein provided, issue a license authorizing the marriage of any person under fifteen years of age, or of any person less than seventeen years of age to any person twenty-one years of age or older; provided, however, that such license may be issued on order of a circuit or associate circuit judge of the county in which the license is applied for, such license being issued only for good cause shown and by reason of such unusual conditions as to make such marriage advisable.

2.  No recorder shall issue a license authorizing the marriage of any male under the age of eighteen years or of any female under the age of eighteen years, except with the consent of his or her custodial parent or guardian, which consent shall be given at the time, in writing, stating the residence of the person giving such consent, signed and sworn to before an officer authorized to administer oaths.

3.  The recorder shall state in every license whether the parties applying for same, one or either or both of them, are of age, or whether the male is under the age of eighteen years or the female under the age of eighteen years, and if the male is under the age of eighteen years or the female is under the age of eighteen years, the name of the custodial parent or guardian consenting to such marriage.
