In some states you are allowed to marry as a minor with parental consent from the age of 15 and you then become emancipated. In Ohio it's 16. Married younger then that is illegal. It says in the law:
Minors 16 or 17 years of age may obtain a marriage license and get married when one of the legal custodial guardians or parents is present with valid photo identification, and present a certified copy of each minor's birth certificate issued by a state or county.
Once you are legally married you are emancipated and you are the only one legally responsible for yourself.

Can an individual be held legally responsible for debts that occured when they were a minor?
An obligation to pay a debt is usually by contract. A contract by a minor is "voidable" meaning that it can be invalidated. However, it is not void. The difference is sometimes important because if a contract is void then someone could never be held accountable. A contract by a minor however, may later be ratified (acknowledged as valid) by that invididual. Ratifying the contract then makes the person legally responsible. If the person who signed the contract as minor does not want to be held legally responsible, he or she must formally rebuke that contract.
