Closed petition Raise the legal age of marriage to 21

Closed on

Our petition is designed to influence the government to change the legislation regarding the legal age at which you can marry. The current law is 18 however you may get married 16 with parents in position. We believed the legal age limit should be changed to 21 in order to cut force rates, divorce rates, and increase financial stability through maximizing education.
