Answer 1

Every state requires either parental consent or a court order for a minor to marry - or both. To get a court's permission, you would need to be a legal resident of the state.

Answer 2

Wait! Time will tell if are meant to be. You cannot judge based on your aunt. Times change. And I thought i wanted to get married several times before I turned 18. And you know what, I would have and may have been happy. But i found something better. Not to say that you aren't meant to be with this guy, cuz you might be. But marriage is hard enough at any age. It's a good idea to wait until you graduate at least, make sure you're financially stable and won't have to live with your parents. Forget age, concentrate on situation. One of the highest killers in a marriage is money, it wears on your relationship. So make sure you're good in that area first. You've got two years before you're eighteen, use this time to save money for a big wedding, and to secure good jobs. My best friend was making $30,000 a year at 16. You can do it if you plan it right and look for the right jobs in the right fields. Maybe go to homeschool graduate early, get your GED and then start taking some college classes, get a jump start on your future if you really are serious and he is too, then work on it and it will happen. but be patient and do it right. I have a tendancy to rush into things when I know I want something. But waiting will make it that much better in the end.

But... ok... if you are really serious and are going to do it. The only real way is to do it with your parent's permission. If you can't get that, then try to get imancipated, if you are ready to be married then you should have no problems with that. You have to proove you can take care of yourself. Have a good job, be able to get a place to live. But it can be hard. Find out which states you can get married in and get there. I am so not suggesting that you do this, I still think what I said before is the best way to do it.

Answer 3

You obviously don't want to hear that you're to young. Guess what! you are. Just because you Aunt made it work dosen't mean it'll work for you. There are thousands of kids out there that get married and divorced by the time they are 18. If there are any kids involved they SUFFER. I'm a teacher I see the results of these true love romances everyday. Most of these kids end up living with grandparents, aunts and uncles. Think about it. Slow down it's for your own good.

Answer 4

Know for sure if it's really what you want to do,you may regret making that choice 10 yrs later,it's not stupid when someone say it's to young at this age it really is because being marriage it's not easy and it's a lot of work and commitment .and regarding yr aunt you can not make a decision like that base on her relationship because no relationship is the same cause we As individual we're different,sorry you may not like my answer but it's the truth.

Answer 5

Think seriously about this before you act on it. Marriage is a serious committment and you should learn as much as you can about it. Do you know what it takes to have a loving marriage?

Do you have a job or do you live at home? It's hard to go to school and to work to support yourself or your family. You would probably end up getting an apartment or living in a house and that takes money and work.

Think about everything and talk to your parents, friends and everyone else. I know people who were married at 16 and later in life, they felt as though they missed out on life. Make sure this is what you want to do before going through with it.

Answer 6

At 16 in most state's you have to have parents permission they have to actually go to the court house and sign a paper for you to get married. Then you just set your wedding plans up from there.

But if your parents wont give you permission you can go to the court house and get papers about being emanicpated which gives you the legal rights of an 18 year old and you could sign the papers yourself.
But their is a lot of stuff involved with that.

Answer 7

Remove your head from your butt! You know nothing about life, love or relationships. You have more older years in life then younger years, so why would you want to rush into them. After reading your additional details that you added on is proof that you are not ready. You can't spell, can't take criticism, have a temper. That is real fine makings for a marriage. GROW UP

Answer 8

At the age of sixteen I was engaged however my mom did not allow us to get married that young. The only was is to have your parents permition or get emancipated. It takes alot to be emancipated and could cause problems with you and your family. I would say wait two years its not that long if you think about the rest of your life. Good luck!!

Answer 9

Wait 10 years. And when you get to 26 wait another 10.

Answer 10

you need a parent to sign, and just because it worked out for y our aunt , who was married in a different time im sure, doesnt mean it will work out for you, be careful
