Can a 15-year-old get married to a 17-year-old in South Carolina if she is pregnant but does not have her parents' approval?

Answer 1

Yes you can, you just have to have proof you are pregnant. During your pregnancy you are considered an adult so good luck I hope that helped you a little=) * A minor is not considered an adult merely due to being pregnant/giving birth. In the state of SC, pregnant or not, a minor cannot marry without parental consent.

Answer 2

No, any person under the age of 18-years must have the consent of the parent(s) or legal guardian. Any person under the age of 16-years must have permission from the state superior court. (06/13/09) It is a statistical fact that relationships involving people who co-habitat and/or get married prior to age 24 have an 85% failure rate. Biologically, this is when females reach full mature on the physical, emotional, and hormonal levels. At this point, a woman is fully prepared to have and handle children, as well as a male that is still not fully mature.

Males don't reach full physical and hormonal maturity until age 30. This is also when they reach their peak emotional maturity, but not to the point of being fully independent. Half of the male emotional health comes from a woman. The biochemical frequency range of the male brain adjusts itself to match that of the female, developing an emotional symbiotic relationship.

Couples who begin cohabiting and/or get married prior to age 24 can find themselves drawing away from each other as each reaches full maturity. Their whole view of the world, and each other, changes. This doesn't happen to all couples, but clearly it is a factor in most relationship breakdowns.

Cohabiting couples breakup three times more than married couples. Cohabiting couples that later marry have a 46% higher rate of divorce than those who did not cohabit prior to marriage. See Link Below

No you cannot. There is no state in the U.S. that will allow someone under the age of 18 to get married without parental consent/court approval/special circumstances.

Answer 4

If you have your parents permission, you can get married at 17.

Answer 5

The legal age to get married without parental permission is 18 in all locations in North America.

Answer 6

A girl can get married at 14, a boy at 16 with parental permission. An original birth certificate must be filed and a parent has to appear in person to get the license.
