Bill Summary

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 the title and section 1 (MCL 551.51), as amended by 1983 PA 198.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to prohibit marriage by individuals under 18 years of age, rather than the current prohibition on marriage by individuals under 16 years of age. The bill declares any marriage entered into by an individual under 18 years of age to be void. The bill also removes language that previously allowed probate judges to perform marriages of individuals under 16 years of age. This amendatory act does not take effect unless several other related bills are also enacted into law.
