Tennessee law states that both parties involved in the signing of a marraige contract must be of majority age. This means that any individual under 18 that wishes to be married to another individual, must have parental consent.

18 years old. If either party is under the age of 18, they must be accompanied by the parents of the under age applicant.

If either party is under the age of 16, Tennessee law requires that the couple receives a court order before being allowed to marry. IE: due to upcoming childbirth.

Note: an unmarried person under the age of 18 cannot legally consent to having sex under current Tennessee law, regardless of the age of the partner.

{| |- | The age of majority is 18. That is what is required to apply for a marriage license in Tennessee. Prior to that age, the parents have to give their consent. |}
18? I guess in like every other state....Maybe younger if you get your parents to sign a paper.

The question is why would you want to marry young?

THE RIGHT AGE FOR MARRIAGE

Leaving out the opinions on this, I'm going to cover the facts of what's it's like to be in a "LONG TERM" relationship.

It is a statistical fact that relationships involving people who co-habitat and/or get married prior to age 24 have an 85% failure rate. 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.

In a couple, who has made the right choices, and found that person who truly compliments them, a symbiotic relationship develops also on the physical level. There is a reason why humans were designed to be monogamous. It comes down to the sexual experience that goes beyond pleasure and reproduction.

Seminal plasma (fluid carrying semen) and vaginal fluids contain addition chemicals that the other sex needs. Chemicals in seminal plasma help strengthen the Uterine Wall, not only making it stronger for the carrying of a fetus, but also because the uterus provides physical support for other organs, such as the bladder and the intestinal tract. For males, vaginal fluid reinforces their immune system and affects future production of semen. But, there's a downside.

The human body adapts to the specific molecular makeup of the seminal plasma and vaginal fluid. The two bodies develop a symbiotic relationship that becomes dependent upon the other. Having multiple partners keeps these functions in constant disarray, always trying to adapt to a new molecular makeup, affecting the overall health of the individual.

This is one of the reasons, and benefits, of developing a long term monogamous relation. For men, there are additional reasons.

A married male lives 20 years longer than a single male, on average. Aside from the physical symbiosis, because a woman provides emotional support, he has less stress, an overall cause of frequent death in males.

For a female, her reproductive and sexual health last longer, not only with the ability to reproduce into her 40s and even 50s, but also continue the ability for sexual pleasure well into the later years.

A monogamous couple become a single, symbiotic unit, standing ready to take on what the world throws at them. They provide the umbrella of strength for the family and the protection of the children. They are core from which the children draw their knowledge and experience of what a family should be, so that they may follow the example of the parents, when they reach maturity and venture out into the world.

This is what it is truly like to be in a relationship, when you make the right choices.

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.

If you are under 21 years of age, you will need to show your birth certificate. Applicants between 16 and 18 years of age, along with a 3-day waiting period, will need to have both parents with them at time of application to sign an approval affidavit. If either of you are under 16 years of age, you can't get married without a waiver from the Juvenile Court.

The age to marry without parental consent is 18. A 16/17 year-old can marry with parental consent. Those under 16 need parental consent and court approval.
