The bill, known as the "Child Protection Act of 2025," amends existing marriage laws in Oklahoma, specifically 43 O.S. 2021, Section 3. It establishes that no person under the age of eighteen may enter into marriage, with certain exceptions. The previous language that allowed for various forms of parental consent has been removed, and the new law stipulates that a minor may marry only if a court has conferred upon them the rights of majority. Additionally, it explicitly prohibits individuals under the age of sixteen from marrying unless authorized by the court under specific circumstances, such as in cases of seduction or paternity, or if the female is pregnant.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that a parent or guardian of a child under eighteen who is in the custody of the Department of Human Services or the Department of Juvenile Justice cannot consent to the marriage of that minor. The act will take effect on November 1, 2025, and includes provisions for noncodification, meaning that certain aspects of the law will not be included in the official Oklahoma Statutes.
