Emancipation by Marriage

Emancipation by marriage occurs when a minor becomes legally independent due to entering into a marriage. In many jurisdictions, this means the minor is no longer under the legal control of their parents or guardians and can make decisions for themselves, such as managing their finances and healthcare. However, the specifics can vary by location, including age requirements and conditions for marriage. Once married, the minor is granted adult rights and responsibilities, effectively achieving emancipation without needing a separate legal process.
