Age of Consent Act 1891: Marital Age Revision
The Age of Consent Act, enacted in 1891, specifically addressed the minimum age for girls concerning marital consent and marriage itself.
Prior to this Act, the minimum marital age for girls was 10 years.
The Age of Consent Act 1891 raised this minimum age from 10 years to 12 years.
Therefore, the correct change was from 10 to 12 years.
This aligns with Option B.
