Can a 16 year old get married to a 19 year old in Louisiana?

Answer 1

Being under 16 means you need:

- the signatures of both your parents and that they also are present. If one parent has legal custody in a divorce, a certified copy of the judgment must be presented.

- a court order to obtain a license.

Judges rarely grant a 15yo right to marry unless there are really good reasons for it since marriage emancipates you.

Answer 2

Yes, if the 17 year old is emancipated then they are considered an adult. They can make their own decisions and get married if they want. Parents can not stop an emancipated child from doing anything, the court considered an emancipated child to be 18 years old.

Answer 3

Yes, IF you have parental consent (from both parents if they both have custody)

Answer 4

With parental permission or a court order, yes.

Answer 5

No. She has to be 18 before she can get married without parental consent

Answer 6

The 16 year old must have parents permission

Answer 7

Yes. You need consent from both parents unless one is deceased or does not have custody, and in that case proof must be provided.
