Answer:
In New Jersey, the age of consent is eighteen. With parental consent, individuals can marry at age sixteen or younger. Additionally, younger parties may obtain a marriage license due to pregnancy, childbirth, or other special circumstances. New Jersey recognizes some spousal rights for registered same-sex domestic partners, but common law marriage is not acknowledged.
