13-Year-Old Girls Marry By Law In New Hampshire, America (2017)

[Ancient lion]

New Hampshire House voted to kill and “indefinitely postpone” bill that would raise state marriage age from 13 to 18 years.

The minimum age to marry in New Hampshire, America is still 13. Last night lawmakers shot down a bill that would increase it to 18 years.

Republican Politicians also voted to indefinitely postpone the bill, meaning any attempt to bring it back up can’t happen for another 2 years.

The Law states that minors can only marry with the consent of a judge.

New Hampshire

The age of consent is sixteen. With parental consent and the consent of the judge, males can marry at age fourteen and females can marry at age thirteen. Common law marriage is not recognized.


California

The age of consent is eighteen. With parental consent, there are no age limits regarding the minimum age for a couple to marry. (Other statutory laws apply.) California offers some spousal rights for registered same-sex domestic partners.


It has to be by consent under 16, so why the upset?

California law specifies no age under their consent.
