Summary
The bill amends state marriage statutes to make any marriage where a party is under 18 illegal and void, except for marriages that were valid before the law takes effect. It requires both parties to appear in person with proof of age to obtain a license and eliminates the prior process that let 17‑year‑olds petition a court for permission to marry. The changes aim to protect minors from forced or exploitative unions.
