THAILAND

Thailand's Civil and Commercial Code states that the legal age for marriage is 17 (or 'once their seventeenth year is completed') but for people below the age of 20, marriages require parental consent. If a person is under 17 years old, they can still get married, but court approval and the consent of a parent or guardian are required. In addition, for the Muslim population in Thailand, Islamic law applies and is legally recognised. In 2018, Thailand's Central Islamic Council revised its marriage regulations: individuals under the legal age (17) are still permitted to marry, but require approval from a religious committee.
