Answer 1

another one bites the dust...........................

Answer 2

If either applicant is under 14 years of age, a marriage license cannot be issued.
If either applicant is 14 or 15 years of age, such applicant(s) must present the written consent of both parents and a justice of the Supreme Court or a judge of the Family Court having jurisdiction over the town or city in which the application is made.
If either applicant is 16 or 17 years of age, such applicant(s) must present the written consent of both parents.
If both applicants are 18 years of age or older, no consents are required.
One parent alone may consent to a minor's marriage if:
The other parent has been missing for one year preceding the application;
The parents are divorced and the consenting parent was given sole custody of the child when the divorce decree was awarded;
The other parent has been judged incompetent; or the other parent is deceased.
Parents, guardians or other people consenting to the marriage of a minor must personally appear and acknowledge or execute their consent before the town or city clerk or some other authorized official. If the notarized affidavit is made before an official outside of the State of New York, it must be accompanied by a certificate of authentication when the consent is filed in New York State.

Answer 3

I don't know where "Pimp" got there information from but, forget it.

Number one, why do you want to get married? having a baby doesn't require marriage. Call the local courthouse today, Monday and ask for the clerk of court office, then ask them your questions, get it from the horses mouth, not someone who doesn't really know the facts.

If your under the age of consent, it's usually 16 or 17 every State is different, some are even 16 years old. If the boy is over the age of consent and you are under there could be a problem if the parents contest it, they could file charges, then we're talking jail. He will face paternity charges one way or the other. He is responsible for the welfare of the baby but, that doesn't mean you have to get married. This could lead to an early divorce so, take it easy and walk slowly, don't run and think about it first. Don't Rush Honey, you could be making a mistake.

Answer 4

Rushing into a premature marriage is not the answer
Just because you are pregnant, doesn't mean you need to get married. Although pregnant, which is a big responsibility, getting married to someone is a whole other commitment.
But even when a young father feels a moral responsibility to assist with his child’s upbringing, marriage is not always a wise option. The fact that a young man is able to procreate hardly means that he has the emotional and mental abilities needed to be a good husband and father. Nor does it mean that he can support a wife and child financially. Experience shows that rushing into a premature—and perhaps short-lived—marriage may only result in additional pain and suffering

Answer 5

Honey you don't want to get married----getting married is not your answer to the situation you're in----Have your child---either keep it or put it up for adoption---you have your whole life ahead of you and you should'nt base your situation on wanting to get married just because you're pregnant---

In 2006 there is no excuse for pregnancy in teen girls---Birthcontrol is readily available---as well as abstinence!! Education is out there too to avoid the situation you're in right now!!

Getting married at 17 and starting out with a family too----the relationship is doomed from the very onset!!

I would suggest you rethink things out----get the support from your family and leave the marriage game alone for now---If you and this person are still in a relationship say 5-7 years down the road when you about 22-25 then maybe marriage should be entered into the your equation.

You've got your whole life ahead of you...School---College---Education---JOB----and juggle that with being a MOM----

Answer 6

Whats with the rude comments. Geeze.
I am thinking you probably cannot. You could get emancipated thou. You have too have a couple of things to be considered for this to happen ..in my state i believe its, bank acct with some $, car, place to live and a way to support yourself. Emancipation if you dont know is basically turning 18 without being 18. When you go to court, you will be showing that you are capable of acting like an adult, even with being under 18.
I would consider it. Btw take care of that lil baby. Once your emancipated i believe you can get married.

Answer 7

i doubt it, whats the rush. i know you want to move on with your life but marriage is definitely not the answer. think about it, if your gonna be with someone the rest of your life then you would love them and be with them with or without a piece of paper. they are the one you want next to you on your deathbed when nothing else matters but thier presence. so you should be able to wait for a year.

Answer 8
