Situation: In what cases is marriage possible before the age of 18?
("Electronic journal "Azbuka Prava", 2022) Permission to marry minors is issued by the local government at the place of residence of these citizens and on the basis of their written application.
The application must be accompanied, among other things, by documents confirming the existence of valid reasons for reducing the age of marriage: a certificate from the clinic about pregnancy, a birth certificate, etc. (clause 2 of article 13 of the RF IC; Appendix 5 to the Administrative Regulations, approved by the Decree of the Administration of the Municipal Formation of the city district of Lyubertsy MO dated 16.08.2022 N 3260- PA).

Article: Exceptional circumstances of the minimum marriage: Views, Certificate of respectfulness, regulations of regulations
(Phytova E. .Е.)
("Actual Problems of Russian Law", 2021, N 2) First of all, it is necessary to dwell on the problem of the expediency of classifying exceptional circumstances as a regional establishment to reduce the general minimum marriageable age for persons under 16 years of age.
It follows from Article 13 of the RF IC that the list of exceptional circumstances for obtaining permission to marry minors under 16 years of age, depending on the discretion of a particular regional legislator, can be either open or closed. The list of valid reasons for the marriage of minors who have reached the age of 16 is open (paragraph 1, clause 2, article 13 of the RF IC). Initially, this norm was aimed at taking into account national traditions, cultural, sociological circumstances, however, even its very design does not allow to fully achieve the goal. National traditions imply a wide coverage of representatives of a particular nationality, they act as social norms, rules, and not "exceptions". The most commonly identified "special circumstances" (pregnancy, childbirth) are transnational factors.

of the Ministry of Justice 16/28398-ЕБ
If there are good reasons, the local governments at the place of residence of persons wishing to marry may, at their request, allow persons who have reached the age of sixteen years to enter into marriage.
Registry offices are recommended to draw the attention of officials of these bodies to the need to reflect in the document on permission to enter into marriage information about the person with whom the minor is allowed to marry. If both persons wishing to enter into marriage are minors, permission to enter into marriage must be obtained by each of them.
