In the USA and the surrounding countries you MUST be 18 to get married without your parents consent.
There are pregnancy loopholes in SOME states, BUT you must reside in that state and get a Judge to say it is in your best interest to marry even w/o your parents consent.
Frankly, you are not getting married w/o your parents consent until you are 18. It is just how the laws were set up.

As mentioned before, each state does have a different law regarding the age to marry without parental or legal guardian's consent. I would first try to ask your parents. If they say yes, things will be a lot easier for you two, and if they say no, then at least you tried and they at least know that you two will be getting married. After that point, I would to states with a age of marrage that is 16 and find out what you need to do in order to obtain a marriage license. They may require that you obtain it so long or be in the city for so long before the wedding. I do know in Florida, Parental consent is not needed, but you will need a Judge to sign a court order.
If you are unable to find a way to get married with out paretnal consent and your parents and his parents if need be do not consent, then I would look into emancipation. This is where the court will order that you are your own legal guardian and thus would not need parental consent, however, by the time that happens, you may already be 18 and the cost was not worth it.
I wish you the best of luck in the future and really suggest that you look at all the options, with out parental consent, it may be a battle that cost more than it is worth!

What state is that this in? If her mothers and dads are fortunate, she lives in a state that has an "age of consent" fixed at 18. Secondly, this scumbag won't be able to marry a sixteen 365 days previous lady everywhere interior the U. S. without the consent of the two her mothers and dads, and in many states, without choose's consent too. and that's no longer likely to take place. somebody could enable his ex be attentive to that he has a sixteen 365 days previous lover as that ought to influence his get entry to to his very own little ones. He could no longer like it if he's unexpectedly banned from seeing his very own little ones because of the fact the choose thinks he's a pedophile pervert. And if it is interior the U. S., no sixteen 365 days previous lady can go away residing house to stay with a 32 365 days previous guy till she is emancipated. And if she does, she would have the capacity to be retrieved by skill of the police and despatched residing house. I also have a question...what united states of america or state is that this in? whether it is interior the united kingdom or Australia, there's no longer something the mothers and dads can do yet notify the guy's ex approximately his present day residing circumstances. yet whilst it is the U. S., then maybe something could be achieved. stable success and God bless!

Sixteen is awfully young to get married but since you both are determined to do it then I guess nothing anyone will say is going to stop you. If you are emancipated from your family or a ward of the State, then you are considered an adult and are able to make these decisions without parental consent. Think it over, marriage isn't all fun and games. It takes commitment, communication, hard work and sacrifice. You don't want to be divorced at 17. Hope it all works out for you.

I'm pretty sure every state requires parental consent for 16 yr olds to marry. That's for a reason- you're too young. Even if you and your fiance are perfect for each other now, in the next 10 yrs you're both going to change a lot and odds are you're not going to change in the same way. wait.

First of all, sixteen is entirely too young to be even considering making such a commitment! Marriage is a lot more than just wearing a pretty white dress, you know.
Aside from that, the ONLY way you could do it is if your parents sign a consent form, and even then you may still be too young.
You're better waiting until you are at least 18. AT LEAST.

For a young woman you may feel grown up enough and may even be capable of handling a long term relationship. So I am not trying to put you down.
I think you should wait. If this man you love truly loves you, your relationship will last in his absents, married or not.
Try not to rush life. Every day life move buy a little faster, you don't notice at first but the older you get the faster it goes.
You are young only for such a short time...enjoy the freedom.. enjoy not having to be responsible to a husband or having to raise children.
Trust me on this... in twenty years you will want your youth back, you will dream of being free from the "responsibilities of life"
Now is the only chance you have to be young and care free... don't give that up even for love!

By law, 18 or marriage will be invalid if documents are falsified, considering felony charges would be also brought. If he is an adult, legal age of 18 and age of consent is 18 in your state, then statutory rape charges are potentially high.
You both can wait 2 more years if you two truly love eachother. No difference than saying "I do" than saying it to eachother for 2 years, with out court documents stating you are now as one.

Hello? Is anybody home?
You have to do some very serious thinking about this. You could be making the biggest mistake of your life, and your life is just beginning.
Don't bother with loopholes, because there are usually loopholes around the loopholes. If in doubt, see a minister or a lawyer or somebody who KNOWS the LEGALITIES and CONSEQUENCES.
Sorry for the caps, but I just want to make things very clear to you -- before you get into trouble and then panic.

You're way too young to even think about marriage. At least wait until you turn 18 and legal! And where exactly is your "fiancee" going? If he's about to leave for a while you really need to think about this! Don't throw away your life just because of puppy love.
