A marriage is a binding legal contract. Dapat ang mga ikakasal ay majority age na: 18 years old. Kahit 18 na sila at legal age na, kailangan pa rin ng parental consent para magpa-kasal. Kung ang mga ikinasal ay hindi of age (under 18), ang marriage ay void. Kung sila'y under 18 at ikinasal na walang parental consent, the marriage is void.

Please go and see a lawyer. kailangan kasi makita ang birth certificate noong mga ikinasal kung sila nga ay tunay na mga minor noong sila'y ikinasal.
