Having some really bad family problems and probably pregnant... I live in Ohio and Ohio is pretty much ridiculous when it comes to this getting married thing. Where can we go to get married to ensure the rights of our child and be together without consent? Please answer if you know details... :(

Fly to Reno or Los Vegas for a day and one night to get married. Just call ahead and make reservations. You will need a License to get Married and those come with conditions. Ask what the conditions are for a marriage license.
Also, if you look in the phone book under attorneys, there is a referral phone number for a lawyer that that is appropriate for your concern. Some Lawyers give free evaluations and information. You need to understand the laws of your state on this matter and the possibility of getting married at 17 years old.
However, remember, that life gets real tough if you alienate your parents. A lot of the homeless people are youngsters who started out in your position. It will be tough, but it is best for you to talk to your Mother and Father about the situation and your feelings about it.
You can make the calls and get some idea what you are up against before you talk to your parents. But, kids without helpful Parents have a really hard time living on their own. Avoid it if you can because love does not pay the rent.
In fact, if you and your boy friend have this baby, being out on your own may actually destroy any chance of your marriage making it. It is hard work to have and raise a baby.
All in the way of advice. That care!

There's very good reason why you can't marry without parents consent.Why in the world would you two run away and add more problems to your lives instead of staying in school to get that education so you two can really better your selves?Now you will have the hardest time trying to play house and with a child it won't be long before you'll wish you were back home being a teenager .

Being pregnant and having bad family problems is not a good reason to get married. Odds are and please dont take this wrong but if that is why you chose to get married plus only being 17 I highly doubt it will last. Secondly most states even those that dont require adult consent require you to be a resident of the state execpt Vegas but I dont think they allow 17yr olds to marry without adult consent either, not sure though

the age in every state is 18 to get married without the parents consent. that includes Utah. if you are pregnant and want to get married you can go to court and become an emancipated minor. meaning you essentially get granted over 18 status due to being pregnant. then you can get married. good luck

I do believe Kentucky allows marriage of 17 years old w/o parental consent

You would do better to wait until you are 18! By then you will know that you aren't getting married just to get away from home. Do you really want to jump from the frying pan into the fire? Make sure the father's name is on the baby's birth certificate and that he is prepared to pay child support until you marry. Waiting and preparing will show good faith on both your parts.

I dont know anywhere you you are living but you can get married at 16 years old without parental permission in Scotland in the UK. Would you be willing to travel?

Check the laws in the states around you. I know you can get married in Utah at 14 or so. So see what other states near you have to say about this.
