A bill would change the age you can marry in Texas and the rights of people who married as minors
What it does
The bill would change the age at which a person in Texas may marry. It would also spell out certain rights for a party to a marriage that is void because it was entered into when the party was a minor. The full text of the bill is not published yet, so the details of both changes are not public.
What it means for your community
Anyone planning a Texas wedding would want to keep an eye on this bill, because it touches the marriage age itself. For someone whose marriage was entered into while they were a minor and is now void, the rights the bill would spell out could matter to them directly. The bill was only filed, so nothing changes for you unless the Legislature passes it.
