The Law
 
Marriages in Malta are subject to the provisions of the Marriage Act, 1975, which became effective on the 12th August 1975.  
 
The minimum age permitted by the Laws of Malta for a person to get married is sixteen years old.  In the case where a person is over sixteen years of age, but younger than eighteen, the parents have to provide written approval of this wedding.  The parents will be asked to provide their identity cards.
