Title I — Marriage
Article 15
ELI5— what this means for you
If you are 21 to 25 years old, you need parental advice — not consent. This means your parents must be notified and given a chance to advise you, but they cannot legally stop you. If they disapprove, the civil registrar must wait 3 months before issuing the license.
Key point
Ages 21–25: parental ADVICE required (not consent). Parents cannot block the marriage.
