Can a 17-year-old girl get married without her parents' consent?

Answer 1

No she can not, for she is still under obligation of her parents They have controll until she is a adult 18, 21 in some places. It's the same on if you weer to leave home, you parents are still reliable for your actions, because under the law your still clssfied as a minor.

no

i believe if the person is almost 18 they should be able to. I also believe your parents don't always know what is best for you. I am a parent i and feel you should let them grow up. Just because the parents have gotten divorced they are taking it out on their children. let them live and learn.

It is a statistical fact that relationships involving people who co-habitat and/or get married prior to age 24 have an 85% failure rate. Biologically, this is when females reach full mature on the physical, emotional, and hormonal levels. At this point, a woman is fully prepared to have and handle children, as well as a male that is still not fully mature.

Males don't reach full physical and hormonal maturity until age 30. This is also when they reach their peak emotional maturity, but not to the point of being fully independent. Half of the male emotional health comes from a woman. The biochemical frequency range of the male brain adjusts itself to match that of the female, developing an emotional symbiotic relationship.

Couples who begin cohabiting and/or get married prior to age 24 can find themselves drawing away from each other as each reaches full maturity. Their whole view of the world, and each other, changes. This doesn't happen to all couples, but clearly it is a factor in most relationship breakdowns.

Answer 2

No, im most places as long as he is not more than 3 years older than you it wont be statutory rape at all. It does depend on where you are, but as your parents are ok with it, it should be ok. * Once you're married you're allowed to have sex with your spouse, so if you're married, then he can't go to jail for it, even if the age of sexual consent in your state is 18.

Answer 3

No, a minor who has been placed in the custody of state social services or some other state agency must have permission from the court to marry, leave school, move from the residence where the court placed them, and so forth. Once the state takes custody of a minor the parent(s) no longer have legal rights to said child until the court restores parental rights to them.

Answer 4

If she has her parents' permission she can get married. The location of her mother doesn't matter. She might be able to get a court's permission due to the jail situation.
