This article looks at the legal and social implications of marriage age in Japan, including exceptions to the minimum legal age of 18 for both men and women. It also discusses the impact of globalization on marriage laws in the country, as well as how the Japanese government is responding to changing attitudes towards marriage age. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to get married without parental consent or court approval, but there is an increasing acceptance of couples who choose to tie the knot before reaching adulthood due to globalization and modernization. The government has taken steps to protect minors from being forced into marriages and encourage people to wait until after college before getting married.
