Is there anywhere in the world where you can get married at 16 without parents' consent?

Answer 1

Yes you can get married in Maryland without parents permission only if the girl is going to have a baby or already has one and you have a doctors note saying that she is or does.

Yes; Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland and Oklahoma allow pregnant teens or teens who have already had a child to get married without parental consent. In Florida, Kentucky, and Oklahoma, the young couple must have authorization from a court. Maryland requires that the minor be at least 16. Even with parental approval, many states will require court approval when a person is 16 years of age or less. Other then that there is really no way to get around this, so either get pregnant or wait til you are 18.

You can go to Ireland.

Answer 2

You would have to check out your state's marriage laws. You can typically find these on a search engine. I checked out the state that I live in which is Michigan and it told me that you can be 16 with your parent's or legal guardians consent. If you're under 16 then you must get your parent's consent and the permission of a probate court.

Once again though, this varies from state to state.

No. All states in the United States require a minimum age of 18 (19 in Nebraska, 21 in Mississippi) to get married. Anyone younger than that age must have parental consent and/or obtain a judge's permission.

Answer 3

No, and thank God! Whether you like to hear it or not you are very young and you sure don't want to waste your life settling down into marriage. Marriage should be for life (seldom is) and at 15 you won't get a very good start and here is why: You need a decent education to get a good job; You should work on some type of career. The more money you make the less stress you will have paying those bills. You don't have to be a scientist or even anyone famous and could be a blue collar worker, but get that education because you're going to need it! At 15 you have seen diddly of this world and there is much to experience before you settle down into marriage. At 15 the only hope of a job would be flipping burgers in an all night cafe. There is nothing wrong with this type of job if you really don't need serious money in your life, but when you get married there are bills to pay ... phone, hydro, electricity, water, taxes, etc. Sit down with your parents and ask your mom if she can show you what bills they have to pay on a month-to-month basis and I can assure you that you're mouth will hit the floor! Then there is the matter of your Medical Care/Dental Care. If you don't have it, and don't have a good job so you can pay the bill, then you're out of luck! If you have babies they need lots of medical care and, by the way, if (and I am sure you will) get pregnant, who is going to pay the hospital bill when you give birth? If you are still going to try and find a way to get married, then don't say you haven't been warned. If you think you are mature now, then you should know that if this person loves you, you both can wait until you are of age. Love should never fade no matter if there are miles between you or a few years. It's your choice .. ruin your life, or experience life and have some fun. I would also like to add, that raising babies is not just cuddling them and showing them off to friends like a brand new doll, but it's all about getting up several times early in the morning to a hungry baby, changing poopy diapers, cleaning up vomit, trying to get rid of colic (gas in the baby) and fevers. Fevers are a scary thing for even the seasoned parents. There are childhood diseases as well and there comes the medical bills! Having babies is a wonderful joy, but couples have to plan for their families and know they are ready for the responsibility. You are too young to handle this. While your friends are out having fun, you're face will be pressed against the pane of the window wishing and wishing you hadn't made such a mistake. Once you're married and have to take on responsibility there is no turning back and you life is no longer your own. Please think about what you are going to do and if you are as smart as I think you are, you'll wait! Merry Christmas Marcy In the few states where someone as young as 15-years is allowed to marry it requires parental or legal guardian consent and a superior court order. actuallly i wanted to do the same thing.... i am 15 and my love is 20 but i think i need to wate because i havnt even graduated my life evolves around him so just be a teenager like im learning to do lol and live it up in 09 if its meant to be it will happen but just not rite now
