Pennsylvania Bill Prohibiting Marriage For Anyone Younger Than 18 Heading To Gov. Tom Wolf's Desk

The legislation would prohibit anyone younger than 18 years old from getting a marriage license.

Current laws allow anyone younger than 16 to be married with court approval, and those between 16 and 18 can get married with consent from a parent.
