In Ohio can a 17 year old get married without consent of parent?

Answer 1

Only by getting married or joining the military, both of which require parental consent. OH does not have an emancipation statute (not all states have one), so there is no legal process in place through which a minor can petition the court for emancipation.

Answer 2

Ohio: If you are 18 to 21 years of age, you will need to show your birth certificate. Persons aged 16-17 must have consent to marry from parents or legal guardians and may have to contact the Probate Court. Additionally, the Judge may require the minors to state that they have received marriage counseling that is satisfactory to the court. Section 3101.05 also mentions how the court will deal with a pregnant minor.

Answer 3

Yes. The 19yo will have to show his birth certificate and the 17yo need consent from her parents or legal guardians and might have to contact the Probate Court. The Judge can also require the minors to state that they have received marriage counseling that is satisfactory to the court.

In general:

1. They must live in a state where emancipation is allowed. Only about two thirds of the states have any sort of emancipation statute.

2. They must meet the requirements set for emancipation. Most of them include the ability to make good decisions as evidenced by character references and their history. A criminal record is not a positive.

3. They other key is that they must be able to support themselves as evidenced by a job or sufficient monetary assets to prevent them being a burden on society.

4. Parents must be informed of the application.

In Ohio you can marry if you are underage by getting a letter of consent from your legal gaurdian or custodial parent.
