There's too great an age difference at this point. If its the real thing, wait.. you won't regret it. At 18 she'll be more mature, especially emotionally.

ok........ this is a 2 part answer.......
First- in order for them to marry the parents of the girl would have to sign legal papers allowing them to marry. I know this because that's how my friend got married in highschool to a man who was 10 years older than her.
Second- At 15 there's still so much more to learn. What you THINK is love at 15 wears off by 16, or 17. When you get married too young, you have a lot of kids, and a wasted childhood. The teen years are important, they teach you so much, not only that but you meet so many different boys and men that you don't know who you want to spend the rest of your life with really. And for a MAN to want to marry a child.... trust me 15 is still childhood even if it doesn't feel like it... should set off alarm bells in her parents heads. At 15 you're not even completely developed yet, which should say something about this man. He wants little girls... maybe not 5 or 6 year olds, but young girls who are easily convinced that they're in love. If you love someone enough to want to marry them at the age of 15, you should wait until your 18 to see if you feel the same way. That way you have plenty of time to think and grow before you do something that will drastically change your life. If you're getting married for a reason that's not love, then the marriage won't last anyways. The 15 year old definatly needs to grow more, and get more mature before her parents even consider letting her marry, and the 25 year old needs to find someone his own age, or at least legal age. If they want to be together, then they should wait until she's 18 so that she better has the ability to make such an important decision.

In most cases, somebody at the age of 15 is not emotionally mature enough to make such a life changing decision. Fortunately, she has her parents, who _are_ mature enough (hopefully) to help her.
I wouldn't rely on any answers here for any major life choices. Instead I'm going to suggest that they Google or Yahoo for a family planning counselor who can help with decisions like these.
Since the parents are involved, I will answer 'yes' to this question, assuming that the parents are acting in good faith and that the 25 year old groom isn't a pervert who is simply attracted to the fact she is 15. It does happen that way sometimes.
Unfortunately for this situation, many places impose legal restrictions on marriageable age. Each area may set an arbitrary age that is based entirely on societal notions of right and wrong. In many other places (rural Brazil, rural Africa, and rural India come to mind...) this is not only accepted, but is common practice. Sometimes with an even larger age discrepancy.

a 15 year old girl is too young and her body hasnt even finished developing yet and her mind is not mature either. But its happened before, i think Elvis Presely was 26 when he married Priscilla and she was like 15 or 16.

In some states the father and mom (or) legal guardians can sign something giving permission for a minor to marry.. that does make it legal. besides the shown fact that, the bigger question is why do a 25 and 14 year previous decide for to marry?

No, the age difference is too great and a 15 yr old is not an adult and cannot emotionally handle a situation like that.

no because a 15 year old girl is still developing and unsure of what she wants. she think thats what she wants but if she gets older and looks back at herself, she would be calling herself a dumba$$
