New Civil Code Article 381 - Marriage of a minor

Book 2 : Title III: Ch I : Sec I : Article 381

Article 381 - Marriage of a minor. To marry, the minor who has reached the age of eighteen (18) needs the authorization of the persons who exercise parental authority or guardianship over him. If they refuse to consent to the marriage, the court may authorize it after holding a hearing to find out the reasons for the refusal and determine if the minor has discernment to understand the nature of the marriage and the obligations that it entails. (Translated) <<<>>>> (Original Spanish) Artículo 381.-Matrimonio del menor de edad. Para contraer matrimonio, el menor que ha cumplido los dieciocho (18) años necesita la autorización de las personas que ejercen sobre él la patria potestad o la tutela.
