Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the domestic relations law, in relation to increasing the age of consent for purposes of marriage to the age of eighteen; and to repeal certain provisions of such law relating thereto
AI Summary
This bill amends the Domestic Relations Law in New York to increase the age of consent for marriage to 18 years old. It repeals provisions that allowed for marriage of minors under 17 with parental consent and provisions that gave courts discretion to annul marriages of individuals under the legal age of consent. The bill also makes technical changes to related sections of the law, such as provisions on when a marriage license must be obtained and the time period before a marriage can be solemnized. The bill applies to marriage licenses issued and marriages that have not been solemnized prior to the effective date, which is 30 days after the bill becomes law.
