A bill to amend 1921 PA 352, entitled "An act to prohibit the marriage of a person under 16 years of age and to declare the marriage void," by amending section 1 (MCL 551.51), as amended by 1983 PA 198.
AI Summary
This bill amends a 1921 law that prohibited marriage of persons under 16 years of age and declared such marriages void. The key provisions are:
1) Until December 31, 2021, marriage in Michigan is prohibited for persons under 16 years of age, and any such marriages are void.
2) Beginning January 1, 2022, marriage in Michigan is prohibited for persons under 18 years of age, and any such marriages are void.
The bill also clarifies that it does not prohibit probate judges from performing marriages as allowed by a 1897 law. The bill's effective date is 90 days after enactment, and it is tied to the passage of two other related bills (HB 4226 and HB 4229).
