Does TEXAS allow marriage of girls at the age of 14 with parental permission ?

Answer 1

Yes, children from age 14 to 17 may be married in Texas with parental consent.

Answer 2

(My opinion: I don't know parent in their right mind would let their 14-year-old daughter get married!)
In the state of Texas the parental permission marriage age is 16. It looks like in the state of Mississippi a girl can be 15 without parental permission to marry. Go to the listed site to get more info.

Answer 3

Not sure if it's changed, but my aunt got married in Texas at the age of 14. I assume she had her parents' permission but it was 40 years ago so maybe not. They're still together so either way it turned out OK.

Answer 4

Yes.

According to this site,

the girl needs to be 16. One state, Massachusetts will allow a 12 year old girl to marry with parental consent and permission from a judge.
