Title I — Marriage
Article 14
ELI5— what this means for you
If you are 18 to 21 years old, you need written parental consent (from your father, mother, surviving parent, or legal guardian) to get a marriage license. Without it, the license cannot be issued and any resulting marriage is voidable.
Key point
Ages 18–21: parental CONSENT required. No consent = voidable marriage.
