Marriage.—Marriage is defined as a personal relation arising out of a civil contract, to which the consent of parties capable of making it is necessary. Consent alone will not constitute marriage; it must be followed by a solemnization authorized by the code. A male must be at least eighteen and a female at least fifteen to conclude marriage.
Parental consent is required if the male is under twenty-one years or the female under eighteen years. Such consent is not required if the minor has been previously lawfully married.
Impediments.—Marriages between parents and children, ancestors and descendants of every degree, and between brothers and sisters of the half as well as the whole blood, and between uncles and nieces or aunts and nephews are incestuous and void, whether the relationship is legitimate or illegitimate.
Marriages between white persons and mulattoes or between white persons and Mongolians are prohibited.
Celebration.—Marriages may be celebrated before any justice of the supreme court, any judge of the superior court, any justice of the peace; or before a priest or minister of the Gospel of any sect.
Husband and Wife.—A married woman may acquire, hold and control property of every description the same as a single woman.
