I would never have signed for any of my kids to marry at that age. Many children that age truly believe that they have found their one true love. But reality for most is that they are going to break a lot of hearts and have theirs broken many times before settling for a spouse. It's been that way since the beginning of time.

I would not sign for a 16 year old to get married. I do not care what the situation is, a sixeen year old is still not an adult and should not be put into an adult position, I know there will be a lot of people who say that they were very mature at 16, but let me say,if they are so mature at 16, what more can they attain in two more short years, when they are 18 and legal?

No, I would not. Even if the girl is mature enough, the male is definitely not. A friend of mine got married at 15. She and her BF were very much in love and her parents didn't want to stand in their way so they signed. By 19 the BF was no longer interested in being married anymore so he started playing around. By twenty they were divorced. She had 2 kids by this jerk and he just walked away from it. It took a long time for her to find someone who would take care of a twenty year old mother of two. And did I mention she was drop dead gorgeous, but she still had the personality and demeanor of a 15 year old. Please let them grow up first.

Dear God No!!!! The 16 year olds do not know what they want these days and really are not ready for marriage or serious committment. I was married at 18 and seperated by thge time I was 20and divorced by 22. just recently divorced. Great times!!!!!(sarcasm) Besides they should experience what life has to offer before they give their lives to someone else to care for.

No. From my own experience I got married at 18 and it was a huge mistake. I would not allow my 16 year old to marry at that age. If they are so in love then waiting an extra two years won't hurt them. There's no reason to do that. I think 16 is too young to know excatly what you want.

I would sign, if I thought the couple had a chance of survival.
Sometimes that first love is so precious and pure, it can last forever. Of course, with no means of support, they would not be able to make it. I would not sign for a 16 year old to marry, unless they had as strong a desire to work as they did to be together. Hope this helps.
I am assuming you mean the girl is pregnant.

No way. she is way too young to get married. If she wants to get married, I would rather wait until she is able to stand on her own two feet without her depending on her husband for financial support. My mom got married to my dad at 16 and she had no life. She was miserable and was bored at home once her kids were grown. what do you do then? She couldn't get a job becuase she didn't speak English. So, the best thing is to wait.

no longer only is this youthful woman legally married yet now if she chooses to go back to the college the college ought to insure her rights as a married emancipated student are secure. also no team or students will be allowed to make snide comments. This tale would proceed in civil court in the different case. it really is not unusual for yourng females to marry at this age even although the tremendous age large difference is and all of us would agree it really is not proper yet there is alot no longer proper with the international we only could settle for and flow on.

i personally wouldn't but each person is different i just don't think that marriage is something a 16 year old can handle its a lot for someone who has so much to dill with now with school and all its better to finish school and get a good paying job then work on a marriage and family i always say take one step at a time.

Absolutely NOT! Only a crazy parent would sign for a child to get married at 16......no matter what the circumstances are.
