Question:

Marriage age?

What was the precise age when you could get married in 1790?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It was legal for a girl to marry at 12 years old and a boy to marry at 14 years old, with parental consent, the age limit changed in 1927 when it was raised to 16 for both sexes, still with parental consent and this applies to the UK.
