Can a minor below 18 years old get married?

Persons under 18 years old cannot marry unless their parents or legal guardians give their consent. On top of the parental or guardian consent, the couple is also required to apply for a Special Marriage Licence via the 'Our Marriage Journey' website here. 

 

Upon successful submission of the application, the couple and the parents of the minor will be contacted by a staff from the agency appointed by MSF, for a social assessment of their suitability for marriage. As part of the social assessment, the couple and their parents are required to attend the Mandatory Marriage Preparation Programme.
