Oh no! I think every girl thinks she's ready to get married at that age but trust me, she's not. I wouldn't allow it.

HELL NO. so what if she is driving you nuts, she is a CHILD!!! Be the parent, since when do 15 year olds tell us what to do???? She needs to stop worring about boys and sex and worry about college and her future. Sex cant pay the rent! And you should remember to be a parent and not try and be her friend, kids learn from our example so if you give in what kind of example will that show her, and what kind of parent will that make her when its time for her to have her own children? Think about it!

Do you honestly believe a 15 year old is capable of understanding what a marriage entails? There are 30 year old that don't grasp what it takes to make a marriage work. So when she gets pregnant and the guy who I assume is a teenager as well leaves her you will then have a grandchild to take care of. Only then to have that grandchild follow in their mother's footsteps.
How could you live with yourself for ruining your child's life? So what if she is driving you nuts, it's called being a TEENAGER. Read a book about them sometime!

Wow! Of all the questions that I have ever heard this has got to be the most interesting. No way should you allow your CHILD to get married. First, of all who wants to marry her? I was 16 when I had my first child and I to wanted to get married but my mother said absolutely not. My son is 14 now, and I am actually glad that she did say no. Talk to your daughter and see what is it that she really wants. When we are children we will do anything just to be grown and the only reason that we really want to be grown is to be able to do whatever we want. Just inform your daughter that childhood is very precious. Grow slow, because you can never get your child hood back baby. Good luck with your daughter. I have one and I will need all the luck in the world.

That's insane. I thought I was in love at 15 also. Of course it didn't work out, but we never talked about marriage. Apparently she is a "fast" teenager, already having intercourse, Although I do hope you talked with her about that already. Chances are that might be why she wants to get married, she might already be pregnant. Well good luck with that. Well if she did get pregnant I'm sure she can support it just fine, I had my first baby at 17, I did just fine. Married him when I was 20 after the second child and we're still married.

It really depends on the situation, but based on what i know I would say yes. If she wants to get married then she clearly feels like an adult and belittling her by telling her that she cant because of reason x (eg shes not old enough or god forbid she doesn't know what love is) will only drive her away and possible cause her to do other things to make her feel adult. Secondly is she the kind of person that trusts your advice? because if she isn't she might need to figure things out for herself, if you say no it will again push her away, because, what do you know? And frankly you don't know whats going on in her head don't ever act like you do. That is just a few reasons why not to say no.... their are lots more, but at the end of the day you know your daughter better then any random person on the Internet. The idea im trying to get accross is you cant help your daughter by pushing her away, bring her closer and help her work through things

ARE YOU NUTS? She's a baby. You are the adult. NO 15 year old is ready to get married.
How old is the guy? Is he over 18? If so, the jerk should be in jail for statutory RAPE.

I notice people are saying yes to teach her a lesson but that is not going to do her any good. We don't teach our daughters lessons to hurt them just to learn by them and this will hurt her because divorce is messy. You know your daughter better than any of us and if you feel she is truly in love and the guy is worthy of her then he will wait for her if not stick to your guns and just let her know it is because you love her that you are not ready to let her go. best of luck. Remember she is still a child and you may have to have her emancipate herself to do this. You also need to know if you tell her no at this age she may runaway and you could loose her forever. It is a difficult situation so be careful what you say.

Do you live in the sticks? Can you say "Deliverance"? The ONLY people I've heard of letting their CHILD get married are people who live in the sticks and believe in marrying their cousins and wacked stuff like that.
Thanks for the points! This was a no brainer.

Absolutely not!!! She is way to young. Tell her that if she and this boy are really in love they will still be that way in a few years and they can get married then.
If you let her get married at her age then she is also going to get pregnant. Where will she be living? She won't be able to support a baby and they will all probably move in with you. Marriage at this young age will most definitely result in divorce.
