WI SB634

Raises the minimum marriage age from 16 to 18 years old, eliminating the current exception that allowed 16-17 year olds to marry with parental or guardian consent

Removes spousal exceptions for sex crimes against children, meaning adults 19+ who have sexual intercourse with 16-17 year olds can be charged with a Class A misdemeanor even if married to the child (exception remains only if the defendant was also a minor when the marriage occurred)

Allows married minors to file for divorce or legal separation, providing a legal pathway out of marriages that occurred before the law takes effect

Extends the annulment window for persons who married while under 18, allowing them to seek annulment within 10 years of the marriage rather than only before turning 18
