∙ 15y ago
If an individual is under 18 years of age, but older than 16 years of age, a marriage license can be obtained with parental consent.
If a parent has sole custody or the other parent is dead, the permission of one parent is sufficient.
If a person is under the age of 16, the marriage license has to be issued by a county judge, with or without parental permission.
If a minor's parents are both deceased and there is not an appointed guardian, he/she may apply for a marriage license.
A minor who has been previously married may also apply for a license.
A minor who swears that they have a child or are expecting a baby, can apply for a license if the pregnancy has been verfied by a written statement from a licensed physician. A county court judge may at his/her discretion issue or not issue a license for them to marry.

In NC a pregnant 15-year-old can ask for court approval to marry. A judge may approve the marriage if they find that 'the underage party is capable of assuming the responsibilities of marriage and the marriage will serve the best interest of the underage party'. However, be aware that there is a presumption that 'the marriage will not serve the best interest of the underage party when all living parents of the underage party oppose the marriage. The fact that the female is pregnant, or has given birth to a child, alone does not establish that the best interest of the underage party will be served by the marriage'. So if Mom and Dad oppose the marriage...
