A change effected in the South Carolina marriage law in 1957 requiring 18, 19, and 20 year-old applicants for marriage licenses to submit birth certificates as proof of age provided opportunity for a partial testing of the hypothesis that the legal requirement of parental consent is a deterren to marriage. Analysis of South Carolina marriage data for the years 1953 through 1960 revealed that the birth certificate requirement checked evasion of parental consent through falsifying age but did not reduce the marriage rate for girls under 18, at least for girls who presumably are willing to falsify their ages.
