15:00Now PlayingNorth Carolina is one of the 13 states in the US that allows a person under 16 to be married. The state has been struggling with the influx of applications for marriage licenses. The a great many of these applications are from individuals living out of state who purposely visit North Carolina for the chance of marrying a minor. This is no longer possible in many other Southern states, for example, making North Carolina a notorious destination for such nuptials. Now, more than half of the marriage license applications involving one party under 18 years old came from other states. The International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) published a study in August 2020 that reveals around 8,800 children below 18 years old were listed on marriage licenses in North Carolina between 2000 to 2015. Senator Sawyer intended to sponsor a bill that will increase the minimum age requirement for marriage to 18. Unfortunately, a proposed compromise was reached, which only raises the age requirement to 16 and creates an age difference limit of 4 years between the spouses.
