Marriage in Turkey may be performed by civil officials or by Muslim clerics (since 2017), although only civil marriage is recognized. [1] The legal age for marriage is 18 although 17-year-olds can marry with parental permission, and 16-year-olds with both parental permission and a court decision. [2]
