The primary Legislation is s.9 :
9. A marriage solemnized in Singapore or elsewhere between persons either of whom is below the age of 18 years shall be void unless the solemnization of the marriage was authorised by a special marriage licence granted by the Minister under section 21.
and s.21
Special marriage licence
21. —(1) The Minister, upon proof being made to him by statutory declaration that there is no lawful impediment to the proposed marriage, and upon his being satisfied that the necessary consent, if any, to the marriage has been obtained, or that the consent has been dispensed with or given under section 13 may, if he thinks fit, dispense with the giving of notice and with the issue of a marriage licence, and may grant a special marriage licence in the prescribed form authorising the solemnization of a marriage between the parties named in that licence.
(2) The Minister may, in his discretion, grant a special marriage licence under this section authorising the solemnization of a marriage although any party to the marriage is below the age of 18 years.
(3) If the marriage authorised by a special marriage licence under this section is not solemnized within one month from the date of the licence, the licence shall become void.
(4) The Minister may delegate his powers under this section to any person, subject to such conditions as he may think fit to impose.
Theoradically the minister will grant the marriage licence if the parents consent and the there is no lawful impediment .
However practically the minister is unlikely to grant the marriage permit as minors , ie under 21 probably are not really sure what they want and the minister wants to preserve the sanctity of marriage.
