Is it true that is some states,that it's legal for a minor to marry an adult?

Question

Cause I hear it alot.

Answer 1

i married my my husband when i was 16 and he was 18. my mom had to sign for us to get married but yes, in New Mexico, as long as they are already 16 with parents permission, one can.

Answer 2

In the United States, all but two states require a couple be age 18 in order to marry without parental consent. Nebraska sets the age at 19 and Mississippi at 21 at the time of this writing (May 2003). A few states will waive this requirement if there is a pregnancy involved, but the couple may still have to have court approval.

Answer 3

In most states a minor can marry with the consent of the parents.

Answer 4

usually if the parent has agreed and signs for the minor----hopefully the minor is maybe no younger than 17 and the adult is 19 or 20--not 50

Answer 5

Yes, in many, if not most states, it is legal for a minor to
marry an adult...

Answer 6

I think the age of consent in most states is 16, but check on that first. Earlier than that you need the parents to sign off on it.

Answer 7

No it is not the only way a minor can legaly marry an adult is to be legaly emancipated which makes them an adult and no longer considered a minor but without that it is illegal.

Answer 8

Yes

Answer 9

Not quite sure, but i think it may be under special circumstances and only with the permission of a parent or guardian.. but why would anyone want to be married so young??

Answer 10

uncertain, even nevertheless it is going to no longer rely as long as you're no longer the only paying for it. every time i bypass out i'm there on the sign up easily finding out on out which kind of alcohol to purchase, yet they in no way ask for my identity in simple terms the guy paying for it that's in many circumstances my buddy via fact that he's easily 21.
