There's no legal age requirement. It's just a family matter - the parents don't like the idea.

No. A 10 year old is a minor child and an engagement is a contract to be married. A person who is under the age of 18 can not sign or make a contract and a 10 year old is below the age of consent in all states.

anyone can get engaged i just dont know about getting married your parents may not like it but there arent any laws that say you cant be engaged

No. The ages of 12 and 13 are below the ages of consent. In many states the age of consent is 16 while others it is 18. The ages of 12 and 13 are considered minors and can not enter into a contract ( the engagment is a contract to marry) as minors. It is also illegal for them.
Being engaged is not a legally binding practise so yes, there is no reason why you canno't legally be engaged at 14. You can't get married though until you are over the age of consent.
