AI Summary

The key provisions are: (1) For marriages entered into before the effective date of this bill, the legal marriage of a minor releases that minor from parental control, and the minor has the same rights, benefits, and responsibilities as an adult. (2) It is unnecessary to appoint a next friend or guardian ad litem for a legally married minor in a divorce action unless the judge requires it, and the minor can prosecute or defend the action as an adult. The bill will only take effect if four related Senate bills are also enacted into law.
