SB341

Repeal law that authorizes a person who is 17 to marry

Introduced·1/20/26

Ohio SB341 repeals law authorizing 17-year-olds to marry.

Ohio SB341 repeals sections of the Revised Code that allowed 17-year-olds to marry with consent. The bill removes provisions that permitted a probate judge to grant a marriage license to a 17-year-old, aligning marriage eligibility with the state's general age requirement of 18 years. This change affects individuals seeking to marry at age 17, ensuring they must meet the standard marriage age requirement.
