  • minor in marriage

    Quick Question - if a woman wanted to marry before she was 21 (In 1910) and both her parents were dead who would give consent?

    Her officially recognised guardian. Unless a will had been made naming a guardian, it would usually be a close family member.

    That's if she confessed to being a minor. of course.
