LEGISLATIVE WATCH WYOMING: House Committee Advances Bill to Set Minimum Marriage Age

A House committee on Tuesday advanced a bill that would set a minimum age for marriage in Wyoming.

The House Revenue Committee voted 6-3 for House Bill 7, or “Underage marriage-amendments,” which states that individuals getting married should be at least 18 years old with a few exceptions. It also forbids marriages involving those under the age of 16.
