South Dakota would raise the minimum marriage age to 18 years old, eliminating the current allowance for 16- and 17-year-olds to marry with parental consent. The bill removes the old rule requiring written parental consent documentation to be filed with the county register of deeds before issuing a marriage license to minors.
