If a 17-year-old boy has been charged with murder and tried as an adult can he get married on his own?

I don't believe the fact that he's been tried as adult would make any difference. It's kind of like if a teenager is emanciapted--they still don't have all the rights of an actual adult--for example, they can't vote.

In most countries, the legal age for both parties is 18.
Although there are some countries that allow marriage at 16 as long as the people involved have written parental consent.
These include:
Bahamas
Bermuda
Belize
Costa Rica
England And Wales
Germany
Mexico
Slovenia:
Eighteen (18) is the legal age to be allowed to marry in Slovenia. Children who are at least 15 years of age can be officially married, provided that the social work centre interviews the minor, the prospecive spouse, and the parents or guardian of the minor and then determines that the minor is well grounded.
