Practice question
A 19-year-old argues that general majority at 18 automatically removes the special parental-consent requirement for contracting marriage before 21. Apply RA 6809 without deciding other marriage requisites.
- Correct, because all exceptions were repealed.
- Correct, because marriage rules cannot differ from general majority.
- Correct, because a 19-year-old has no legal restrictions of any kind.
- Incorrect, because general majority remains 21.
- Incorrect; the statute expressly preserves the special marriage-consent rule.
