This bill sets the minimum marriage age at 18 in South Dakota, though it allows 16- and 17-year-olds to marry with notarized parental or guardian consent. The bill repeals an older law about parental consent procedures and clarifies that anyone performing a marriage in violation of age requirements commits a Class 1 misdemeanor.
