24-10-1. Emancipated minors; hospital, medical and surgical care.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, and without limiting cases in which consent may otherwise be obtained or is not required, any emancipated minor or any minor who has contracted a lawful marriage may give consent to the furnishing of hospital, medical and surgical care to such minor, and the consent is not subject to disaffirmance because of minority. The consent of a parent of an emancipated minor or of a minor who has contracted a lawful marriage is not necessary in order to authorize hospital, medical and surgical care. For the purposes of this section only, subsequent judgment of annulment of the marriage or judgment of divorce shall not deprive the minor of his adult status once attained.
