Abstract

This research article analyzes a series of constitutional, doctrinal, legal, and jurisprudential arguments that establish that, starting with Supreme Court ruling SC3535 of August 18, 2021, a significant advance in the rights of minors over the age of majority in Colombia began. This ruling allows them to express their responsible desire to form a family and, in this sense, to freely and voluntarily enter into a de facto marital union without needing prior parental authorization or subsequent representation in notarial and conciliation proceedings aimed at declaring, dissolving, and liquidating said union. This is because it establishes their legal capacity as emancipated children.
