A girl under 14 and a boy under 17 years of age are incapable of contracting marriage. IF the girl be under 18 and the man under 21 years of age, consent must be given by the parent or guardian, either in person or in writing, to the judge of probate, and if in writing the party presenting must be able to prove its genuineness.
