CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 833 - This act eliminates the provision allowing for marriage under the age of fifteen with the court's consent. This act requires an individual to be eighteen in order to marry, with an exception allowing only those who are seventeen to marry with parental consent. No one under the age of seventeen shall be issued a marriage license under any circumstances. This Act does not modify the requirement that every license state that the individuals marrying are "of age" or the name of the consenting parent if one, or both, of the individuals is under age.
