how can you get married if you are under age but parents wont aprove???

Answer 1

Do so in a state or country where it's legal at your age.

Edit: By way of clarification - to the thumbs down I'm going to receive on this one, I personally agree with the parents and certainly would not want my under aged child (if I had one) getting married, especially without my approval. HOWEVER, the question clearly states "how can you get married if you are under age but parents wont approve???" - I answered this by putting my own personal feelings about this matter aside, as should the rest of you.

Answer 2

first off how old r u and sec. if u are under 16 u can't and why would u want to anyway unless ur pregnant. I mean u have ur whole life ahead of u. I think u need to put more thought into this b/c u know that most teenage marriages don't last and u might end up heart broken. Getting married when u are that young causes more problems then u think. Why don't u waite a few years and then think about marriage b/c the guy u are with today might not be the guy u are with tomorrow. LOOK DEEP BEFORE U LEAP.

Answer 3

You can't. If you need parental approval and they won't give it you can't get married. Plain and simple.

Also, if you aren't old enough, DON'T DO IT! You may think you love him, and he loves you, but is this love or infatuation? Have you experienced life? Do you know what is out there? Too many people throw their lives away by doing something foolish like this.

I got engaged for the first time at 17. She was 16. I was going to marry her when I got out of college, when I would have been 21 and she would have been 20. I had it all worked out in my head... I'd have a part time job to pay the bills, go to school, all that good stuff. Problem is, reality snuck in. Did I think that my parents would support both of us? I would have been paying for her college because, in her Dad's view, "she wouldn't be my responsibility any more." I had this fictionalized view of what the future would be like (I still don't have my flying car!) and how we would be. Of course, the engagement lasted a whole three months. I didn't consider HER as an independent person, or that her views and goals wouldn't be mine.

So, the long and short of it is, YOU CAN'T DO IT, SO DON'T TRY TO DO IT.

Answer 4

As you get older in life, you will realize that maybe your parents really did know what they were talking about. If you are not even old enough to get married then you dont need to be trying to be an adult before your time. I know you may be in love, but its so much in your young life to experience and rushing into a LIFELONG COMMITTMENT to ONE person is not something that should be on the top of your list. You have never even lived on your own, how do you expect to live with a man? You best believe that this guy u are with won't be the last person you will fall for so just enjoy being bf/gf and if it is REALLY meant for you two to be together then he will still be around and ready to marry you when you are of age to marry on your own. Enjoy the carefree, no real responsibility teenage life now because being an adult is NOT what all its cracked up to be. Just think, do you or your bf pay your own bills, own your own house, pay for your own car, pay your own insurance, have a full time job? who do you think is going to pay for all that?

Answer 5

The answer is simple honey. Don't do it yet . I know it seems you have found THE one and you will just die if you are not man and wife but marriage is more than the piece of paper it is written on. I don't know how old you are but if it is true love and it will last forever then it won't matter if you wait until you are of age because you have the rest of your lives together. Let it be planned enjoy shopping for your wedding dress with your mom. Sending invitations to your family, and sharing cheerful tears with your friends... I promise you will regret not having your family there especially your father to give you away and to share with you the one day you can never get back. Time has a way of making everything clear just wait until the sun stops shining and let it rain a few times then see if this is the man you want to spend your life with. As much as we hate to admit it our parents have a way of knowing things. They don't want to hurt you they are trying to protect you at all cost and sometimes don't know when to back off. However it's all done out of love give them a chance and don't exclude them from your big day. It's also a parents dream to give there daughter away to the man that will love, honor and protect there daughter and make her happy and hopefully a proud parent.. So it's deeper than just yourself. Wait a while don't rush...Nothing in life is guaranteed!!!!

Answer 6

You'd have to get legally emancipated from your parents. Meaning, you'd have to go before a judge and prove to them that you can take care of yourself as an adult and you'd have to show proof of this by getting a job, having your own place to live, and paying bills on your own just like an adult. Then basically you can do what you want as far as getting married. But why get married so you when you haven't life a bit of life. Marriage is a very big responsibilty and you should just up and do it because you and too. Stay single for now, grow up a bit more, and get more experience in life and relationships before you jump to marriage. Kids are trying to grow-up way too fast these days, slow down and just be a kid and grow into adulthood don't rush it.

Answer 7

You can't. You have to wait until you are legal age to marry without your parent's consent.

Think about what you are saying. Almost half of all marriages end in divorce. Get engaged and stay that way until you are old enough to get married. If the love is real and you are meant to be with this man, the time you wait to get married will only make your relationship stronger!

Answer 8

You have to find a state that will marry underage people. I think Missouri still does it but I'm not sure. Just be careful in making this decision. You are very young and you need to be certain you want to do this. I was married at 19 yrs. old my first time and we stayed together for 16 yrs. . Two questions to think about before you do this . Can I love him or her forever ? Forever is a long time!!!! Also,Can you be BEST FRIENDS forever ? Just food for thought for you !!!! Good luck in your decision !!!!! Most of all if you believe in GOD then you should pray to him for direction in your life !!!!! Seek pre-marriage counseling before you decide to marry . Dr. James Dobson has some wonderful books out on marriage and family.

Answer 9

You can't.

Even if you were to drive to Mississipi, you have to be a legal resident to get married at 14. Evenif you did get residency, if you moved back, your marriage will not be recognized as legal and your husband can be jailed for kidnapping and statutory rape. Are you that selfish that you'd ruin his life because you don't want to obey your parent's rules? Besides, getting married isn't about getting out of your parent's house (which you will eventually be able to do) getting married is a LIFE long committment, which I highly doubt you understand at this age.

Answer 10

You can't. And there is a reason why your parents will not approve, it is because you are too young, to realize that there will be someone better, you will meet, in the future, that cares about you a lot. You are worth it, to wait. You don't know, if he is going to cheat on you, or not. It is better that you wait, because what something appears to be, is not always what it seems. This means, that he may appear, to be a wonderful person, but in the inside, but be may be using you not caring what happens to you.
I hope, I helped.
