What age can I Get married?
You can get married once you are 18 years of age.
If you are between the age of 16 and 18, you can only get married by obtaining permission from the Court.
A Court will allow you to marry only if your circumstances are considered ‘exceptional and unusual’. Pregnancy is not a sufficient reason for the Court to grant an Order for marriage.
A Court will only grant an Order to enable someone between the age of 16 and 18 to get married if the other party is over 18.
