Answer 2

Each facility has it's own requirements but you must have valid ID for the inmate. Then you must get an inability to appear form notarized. Once that form is notarized you can arrange the marriage ceremony.

Answer 3

Contact the authorites at the facility the person is incarcerated in and they will advise you what their requirement's are.

Note that conjugal visits are a privledge, not a right, regardless of marital status. So even if legally married you may not be able to consumate immediatley.

Answer 4

Some people say jail instead of prison. If your boyfriend is in prison then you will have to discuss this with the Warden first. If he agrees then you can bring in a Priest, Minister or Justice of the Peace.

Answer 5

It depends on what state you live in. Each state has different laws. In Florida, it is impossible. The deputy clerk (person who works at you Courthouse) has to have both parties (groom & bride) in front of them at their desk (which means it has to be at the courthouse).

Answer 6

Dude. The answer is so simple, they throw you in jail for a reason to PUNISH YOU so you can't engage with people sexually, you can't do fun stuff and you CANT GET MARRIED as simple as that. (Unless you have an affair with one of the guards.)

Answer 7

If your boyfriend is in jail, obviously he isn't ready to be mature and legal hence you should not marry him.
