In some places yes, with the permission of the parents, who normally have to be on the marriage license, other places you have to be at least 16 even with parental consent. But remember marriage age does not constitute legal age of consent, and although you may be able to marry her, you probably wont be able to sleep with her until at least 16 and in many places older. Minors under the age of 15-years in all states must have the approval of superior court in order to marry. Minors who are a least 15-years of age may marry in some states if certain circumstances exist. A minor who is allowed to marry becomes emancipated for all practical purposes that relate to the marriage and any children born of the union. Laws pertaining to the ages of consensual sex do not apply to legal marriages. It depends on the state. Many states have provisions for marriage at that age with consent of parents and/or a judge.
