Marriage Ordinance 1961 (amended 2020)
SOBRE A LEI E QUAISQUER EXCEÇÕES
In 2018, the government presented two proposals to amend the Marriage Ordinance 1961: first, to equate the minimum age for marriage for men and women at 18 years and second, to require consent from one parent/legal guardian for marriage for both men and women until 21 years. These changes were adopted in 2020 and came into force in 2021. However, it should be noted that anyone who has sexual intercourse with a minor (aged 12-16) to whom they are married is exempted from punishment under the Crimes Act 2013.
