Can a 16-year-old couple get married without parental permission if they are expecting a baby?

Answer 1

Yes you can go to Georgia or Florida and get married as long as you are definitely pregnant and have a doctor write a statement saying that you are pregnant. I know because I've done it. Just don't have any kind of sexual content with your "hubby" until its final. Or else he can be charged with a bunch crimes. Once you get your marriage license then you are legally emancipated and married and your parents can't do anything about it. Just make sure that he's the one because you'd hate to put your life (legally) on the line for something that isn't going to last.

Answer 2

No, parental consent is needed. In some states a pregnant 16 years old is allowed to marry if she has certification from a physician licensed in the state validating the pregnancy. A fifteen years old must have parental permission regardless of the circumstances, and in many states must also have the approval of the court. (06/13/09) Your child deserves an intact family, but how long will it remain intact? Do you want to gamble with the chances you will end alone with the child, or that you give the child to the father and leave? The chances of this are substantial. Over 85% of all divorces involve people who married or lived together prior to age 24.

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. Cohabiting couples breakup three times more than married couples. Cohabiting couples that later marry have a 46% higher rate of divorce than those who did not cohabit prior to marriage. See Link Below

In the majority of states, no. In three states it is possible for a pregnant minor who is at least sixteen years of age to marry w/o parental consent. Those states are Florida, Maryland and Georgia. The minor must present a notarized document from a licensed physician confirming the pregnancy. In Maryland the minor's parent's will receive notification of the application for a marriage license.

Answer 4

The 16 year old must have parental permission to get married.

In some states, the 25 year old can go to prison if officials find out he is has fathered a child with a 16 year old. There won't be much of a chance for them to get married.

Answer 5

No, you can't. It is your responsibility to take care of the baby. Whoever made you pregnant should support you with the baby, too. If you want to marry that person and that person wants to marry you, you just have to wait until you're old enough.

Answer 6

In most states you can marry at 16 with parental/guardian consent regardless of pregnancy or not. Pregnancy itself does not give you the right to marry in most states. Though the 16 year old has a baby, he/she is still under 18 and considered a minor.

Answer 7

Not in most places, but check the laws in your state. A local county courthouse should be able to provide you with information.

Answer 8

They can get married only if the parents of the 16 years old agree. In some places they may be able to get a court order if the parents are not available.
