If you are an emancipated minor do you need parental permission to get married?

Answer 1

Not unless you can get a court order.

Don't go to Mississippi expecting that you can marry without parental consent.

Mississippi requires a person to be *21* in order to get married without parental consent. I verified this information today (02/11/05) with the county clerk's office.

Every state in the U.S. requires that a couple be 18 to get married without parental consent, with the exception of Mississippi (21) and Nebraska (19).

Answer 2

Minors are minors and cannot marry unless the court allows this. Minors usually are a ward of the court and put into foster care unless a relative will take the minor in. If the minor is pregnant and wants to marry the father of the baby the courts will often agree to this. Marcy When you emancipate legally from your parents then you no longer have any connection and your parents have no obligation to you. Whomever is looking after you will have to give the consent or a court of law. Marcy No. A minor who has been legally emancipated may marry whoever and whenever they so choose.

(06/13/09) Why would you want to? 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.

Answer 3

In the US, and assuming the marriage is legal, then yes, they're emancipated.

Answer 4

No, if you are emancipated, you do not need parental permission to marry. But it might be easier just to get their permission, in that marriage emancipates a minor.

Answer 5

If they are truly emancipated, yes. Note that in almost all states, getting married emancipates a minor.
