No, You don't have to have custody of your child to consent to the marriage. You either have to be parent which you are or the gurdian. You are still your child's parent regardless of weather you have custody or not. You could also call to the Clerk of Courts and ask them if this will make you feel comfortable.

AnswerIt depends on the laws of your state. But in many states (and for all I know it could be 'most' or 'all' states), a non-custodial parent alone cannot give permission for a minor to get married.

No. If the father does not have any legal rights, then his permission is not required.

I have legal custody of my cousin what is differnce between full custody and guardianship because board of social services is challenging my authority ?

Both full custody parents/guardians have say over the child. However, just because you are someones guardian does not mean that you have full custody of that child all of the time. It simply means you have say so in the childs life. This is how it was when my grandmother had full custody of me, however, my uncles were my guardians. I do not belive this particular law varies from place to place.
