Claims Trial Marriages Permitted under Law
New York report shows Bronx District Attorney McGeehan accusing statutes of practically sanctioning trial marriages for minors. He notes Section 7 of the civil relations law allows marriage for youths as young as 13 with parental consent and enables annulment later by the Supreme Court, risking clerks and ministers acting for underage couples. He says a 17 year old with a 16 year old could wed and later have the marriage annulled, while officials face misdemeanor exposure for solemnizing ages under 18.
