Change legal age of marriage back to 16

Petition Details

I want you to change to legal age of marriage back again because I don’t see why it is legal to have sex but not get married. We believe you should be able to get married from the age of 16.

Additional Information

We think people should be able to get married at 16, if they can consent to sex then they should be able to commit to marriage.
