Councillor Greene, there are often times - as is the case in Inquista - where people are allowed to marry below the age of majority. The age of majority in Inquista is 18, but Inquistans who are 17 are allowed to get married with the consent of their parents or guardians. Thus, in Inquista, your right to marriage actually isn't exclusively tied to the age of majority, as I've just outlined, and so are many rights and privileges. I don't think this act actually establishes an age of majority, it only establishes an age in which you cannot be married.
I like that, unlike in the previous version of this act, which stated that only those who are 18 and above can marry, with some exceptions with 16 and 17 year olds, that this act just establishes who cannot marry: those who are 15 year old and younger. In this case, I think it's fair to blanektly state that 15 year olds across Europe cannot and should not be allowed to marry.
Councilor Greene, l'm also very confused now as to who can marry in the Duxburian Union. Previously you stated that only 20 year olds in the Duxburian Union could marry. So if this passed, I'm not sure how the Duxburian Union could defy this, unless the DU brought their right to marry to below 15 years of age - which doesn't seem likely given what we've previously said.
