California has outlawed child marriage, joining 17 other US states where the taboo practice is also banned.
Under past state law, minors of any age could obtain a court order for marriage with the consent of their parents.
Assembly bill 1267, which Governor Gavin Newsom signed on Wednesday, prohibits minors from being issued a marriage license or establishing a domestic partnership (an arrangement that provides spousal protections). The law has no exceptions.
