Once you're 18 you are considered a legal adult and can do whatever you like. * No. The Mississippi has two age of majority laws one is constitutional (21) and one is statutory. The constitutional law (21) regulates the age at which a person can marry without parental consent. Minors cannot cross state lines as regulated under federal law without parental consent. (18 United States Code 2243, 18 USC 2423). It would be necessary to list your home state on the application of the marriage license and without having parental consent the license would be denied.

Not in Tennessee, you need their permission. Once you turn 18 you can marry without consent.
The age to get married in most places in the US, including Mississippi, is 18. They will allow 16 or 17 year olds to get married if they have parental permission. Some counties will allow it with a court order.

You will have to have parental permission to get married. If you do not, the marriage will not be valid.
