Yes it is OK, but some churchs may have a problem with it (depends on the minister or pastor) so just visit the church of your choice and see where it leads.

Even up until the early 1900s it was not uncommon for very young people to get married. Just a bonus for you ... on the Canadian news there was a man 101 years old and his wife was in her late 90s (they were wed very young) and had been married for 80 years! This is extremely uncommon in today's modern world. The average length of marriage today is not quite 4 years.

Can a 15 year old work or volunteer without parental consent?

Work a job in which there are taxes involved? No, there are many jobs denied those under 16 - by law - without parental consent. Or even with parental consent. Volunteering is a gray area. If you volunteer at a church bake sale or car wash fundraiser, or some such, then the organization accepting your help has not broke a law. But if your parents go to that organization and say that you have no permission to be there, then the church or charity might have legal problems if they let you come back.

What is the legal age to get married in Maryland?

Parental consent is needed if under 18 years of age. If you are between 16-18 years of age, one of your parents or guardian must be with you and provide written consent. If you are under 16 years of age, you will need both the written consent of your custodial parent or guardian and the written approval of a judge of the Orphans' Court Division of the Court of Common Pleas. If you are under 18, pregnant or have a child, and show a certificate from a licensed physician stating you are pregnant or have had a child, the parental consent requirement may be waived.see link


How old do you have to be to get married in a Catholic Church in Utah?

Legal marriage in Utah is dependent upon varying factors dependent upon how young you are. 18 or older does not require parental consent. If you are 16 or 17 years old, parental consent is required. If you are 15, there is a list of requirements: * You need parental consent * You would have to get approval form a Juvenile Court. The court wants to know if it is in the best interests of the minor (the 15 year old) and whether or not it is voluntary. The court might also require premarital counsel if they deem it necessary.
