It is illegal to enter into a marriage strictly as a joke or a dare.

The Law Explained

Pennsylvania family law dictates that if two people get married as a prank or on a dare, the marriage can be legally annulled immediately. The state established this provision to prevent drunk or incredibly reckless individuals from being permanently bound to a lifetime legal contract without serious intent. So, getting hitched just for a laugh actually invalidates the union entirely.
