If you are the mother of a 19-year-old girl who is married to a 33-year-old man and she gets into trouble are you or her husband liable?
Even if she was a minor if she married a man that was over the age of 18 he becomes the legal gardian. Also, once a minor marries they become an adult and are responsible for their own actions. Doesnt matter at what age they are they have to take responsoblity for them selfs and all that they do. Therefore, the young woman would be held totally responsible for her actions, not the spouse or parent(s).

If you are over 18, you are legally an adult and do not need to attend high school, although it is harder to get a job. If you are a minor (under 18), then your parents will be held responsible for you not attending school, and I believe if you don't, you or your parents can get into legal trouble.

Can an individual be held legally responsible for debts that occured when they were a minor?
An obligation to pay a debt is usually by contract. A contract by a minor is "voidable" meaning that it can be invalidated. However, it is not void. The difference is sometimes important because if a contract is void then someone could never be held accountable. A contract by a minor however, may later be ratified (acknowledged as valid) by that invididual. Ratifying the contract then makes the person legally responsible. If the person who signed the contract as minor does not want to be held legally responsible, he or she must formally rebuke that contract.
