New Marriage Law Debate in Maryland Senate
The Cumberland ministerial group backs a bill to tighten marriage age and oath requirements. The measure would raise the nonconsent marriage age to eighteen and require both parties to answer under oath, aiming to curb runaway couples from outside Maryland and ensure proper parental consent. The proposal mirrors Pennsylvania rules and could curb underage marriages while avoiding public exposure by allowing answers to be given at the clerk’s office. The editorial also criticizes current election spending and supports a broader civil service and reform agenda.
