The Marriage and Civil Partnership (Minimum Age) Act 2022, which gained Royal Assent in April last year, has come into force today (27 February). It means that 16 and 17 year olds will no longer be allowed to marry or enter a civil partnership, even if they have parental consent.
Whereas in Scotland there has been consultation on reducing the age when you can legally change your sex from 18 to 16.
What age do you think we should recognise that someone is mature enough to make like changing choices like marriage etc?
I'm of the opinion that 18 is the absolute minimum age and even at 18 I didn't have enough experience of life to make well thought out decisions. What do others think?
