Can you get married at the age of 16?
Please think a little more clearly about getting married at such a young age. I am not saying you aren't mature at all, because the young can often be more mature then full grown adults. What I am saying is that 16 is too young for marriage when there is a whole world of wonderful things out there. You could go to business school, college, be who you want to be if you want it bad enough. You could travel, meet new people and have adventure and fun. If you get married these opportunities usually aren't available to you because it takes money to pay rent, etc., and eventually buy a home and then have children. Don't cheat yourself out of the best years of your life.
If you feel you are truly in love, then don't get married, but perhaps travel together, get to see the world, find out who you really are inside, and what you want out of life and strive for it. You are so very lucky you are so young and the choice is up to you.
Good luck Marcy
