NY Raises Marriage Age Of Consent To 18

Starting on Aug. 21 you will need to be at least 18 years old to get married in New York. Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a bill that removes the ability for 17-year-olds to be married with parental and judicial consent. Cuomo says the measure will further protect vulnerable children from exploitation. It was 4 years ago when New York raised the age of consent from 14 to 17 with parental and judicial approval.
