Can you get married in Mississippi if you are 13?

Answer 1

Yes. Mississippi has no residency requirement, so, yes, even if you live in another state, you can get married in Mississippi. However, you have to have parental consent if you're *under 21*. (I did verify this today with the county clerk's office)

Answer 2

The legal ages of consent for marriage (without parental consent) in Mississippi are 15 for females and 17 for males.

Mississippi requires a person to be *21* in order to get married without parental consent. The age to get married *with* parental consent is: girls 15, boys 17.

Now, I don't know how long that has been the law in Mississippi so maybe it was recently changed?? But I do know that it is the law as of today's date (02/11/05), because I called the county clerk's office and asked them :)

Answer 3

Parental consent is needed if you are under 21 years of age.

Answer 4

At one point in time, you could get married at 13 in Hernando, MS. Now I believe the girl can be 15 and the guy can be 17, but you have to have a parent signature.

Answer 5

Depends what state you live in. In some states you can but in others you need your parents consent.

Answer 6

Dating is not illegal and in this case neither is sex since age of consent in Mississippi is 16.

Answer 7

Can they? Yes. But the 17-year-old will need to have parental consent in almost all the US states, Canada and Mexico.
