First, a comment:
Under the schnauzerlands legal regime, marriage is viewed as a religious private matter, and invokes no legal status or legal rights. The laws govern what is now labeled as "domestic unions," which convey a whole host of legal rights and relationship and is not affected by religious theory or doctrine.

Adultery: (may be evidence of grounds for dissolution of domestic unions, but is not a criminal offense)

In such instances, all rights and duties that apply at age 18 apply to an emancipated minor.
