Last update I have they are legal in the State of New York, but you have to check the county and city in which you live. They can be regulated by any level of government. I know they are illegal in New York City. Contact the Special Licenses and Permits - Division of Fish, Wildlife & Marine Resources, (518) 402-8985 for more up to date information. Please research monkeys thoroughly before making the leap into monkey ownership. It can be the best experience of your life or the worst. It all depends on how you arm yourself. Visit www.petmonkeyinfo.com for an objective look at owning a monkey.
Ownership of a primate should not be taken lightly. Primates have long lifespans ranging from 20-40+ years. One must thoroughly research and be willing to commiting to animals and all the work entailed for the duration of the animal's life. Monkeys are MUCH MORE work than a dog or cat.

No. Marmosets are New World monkeys.
There are 2 major classifications of monkeys. There are Old World and New World Primates. Marmosets and squirrel monkeys are new world primates. Old world primates are roloway and mandrill monkeys.

No it is not illegal...All monkeys are legal to have as long as you are in a state that allows them to be privately kept. Some states such as California, New York...ban them..but others such as Ohio allow you to have them. I have 3 cotton top tamarin monkeys..which are a bit larger and more intelligent than the marmosets. Please see the related link below.
There are two main families of monkeys, new world monkeys in South and Central American and old world monkeys in Asia and Africa. Some new world monkeys are Pygmy Marmosets, Spider Monkey, and Tamarins. Some old world monkeys include Patas Monkeys, Colobus Monkeys, and Drill.
Because monkeys dislike Bloomberg.
Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island require a permit to own them. New York and New Jersey only allow them in wildlife sanctuaries. Alabama, Nebraska and South Carolina have no laws against it.http://animals.mom.me/can-keep-pocket-monkey-pet-1922.html
