Kansas marriage licenses would require both people to be at least 18

Court clerks and judges would refuse marriage licenses if either person is under 18. The requirement would cover people applying for marriage licenses in Kansas. Parents, guardians, and judges could not approve an exception for someone under 18. The requirement would have taken effect after publication in the state's official book of laws, but the proposal died in committee.

Court clerks and judges would not issue a marriage license before the third counted day following the application date. The waiting rule would apply to Kansas marriage license applications. The count would exclude Sundays, holidays, and days when the court clerk's office is inaccessible. A district court judge could waive the wait by court order if an applicant shows an emergency or extraordinary circumstances. Counting would begin after the application filing date. The rule would have taken effect after publication in the state's official book of laws, but the proposal died in committee.
