Girls Can Marry at 15, Colo. Court Finds
Interesting case. Does anyone think 15-year olds are mature enough to marry?
Quote:
A 15-year-old girl can enter into a common-law marriage in Colorado, and younger girls and boys possibly can, too, a state appeals court ruled Thursday.
While the three-judge panel stopped short of setting a specific minimum age for such marriages, it said they could be legal for girls at 12 and boys at 14 under English common law, which Colorado recognizes.
The ruling overturned a lower-court judge's decision that a girl, now older than 18, was too young to marry at 15.
