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.
