The minimum age to be married in Ontario is 16 years of age.
Under 18 years of age, parental consent is a must.
A person under the age of 16 is not permitted to marry in the Province of Ontario.
Each partner must submit two (2) pieces of government-issued identification for each person getting married. One piece of identification must include your photo.
