Amends the Probate Act of 1975. Provides that an individual under guardianship who understands the nature, effect, duties, and obligations of marriage does not lose the right to marry without the prior consent of the individual, the guardian, or authorization of the court with some exceptions. Allows a court to remove the right to marry if removal is included as requested relief in a petition for a limited or plenary guardian or upon application of the guardian, and the court finds by clear and convincing evidence after an evidentiary hearing that the individual lacks the capacity to understand the nature, effect, duties, and obligations of a decision to marry. Provides conditions in which an individual from whom the right to marry has been removed may nonetheless marry. Provides that a marriage entered into by one or more individuals from whom the right to marry has been removed is void with some exceptions. Permits a guardian to contest the validity of a marriage under the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.
