if you are 18 years old and your bf is 19 years could you get married without their parents permission.?

Answer 1

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 2

It all depends on the state you live in, in most of the states yes it is legal to get married without the parents permission at the age of 18.

Answer 3

Yes you can, but can I tell you, from experience, that it is a really dumb idea. I got married when I was 19 (so was he) - by the time we were 21, we were completely different people. We had nothing in common once we got out into the "real world" and started working, meeting other people not related to high school - being more "adult". We tried to make it work but by 23, we were divorced.

We thought we were so in love - and that THAT was all we needed to get by. So not true.

My suggestion to you is this, get engaged sure, but wait until you both are in your 20's to get married. Have some time being adults before you decide if a teen relationship is really what is going to make you happy till death do you part.

Answer 4

Yes you can. I did that. I am 48 now and not with him anymore, I have a 29 year old daughter who grew up without her father. It is a long road for you all to go together, alot of changes happen between your 20's and 30's.......you will both be different people then and chances are you will not be the same when you go through this. I would advise just being together. What is the rush....you are young, have the world at your feet, young love feels soooooooooo gooooood, just enjoy it for now. Maybe wait to marry after college and your futures are so bright that you will have more of a direction to go in together.

Answer 5

okay i was 14 when i got married and i was pregnant if your dad will do what my mom did go up there and Tell them you want a marriage license and them when they ask for your parents signature tell them your mom left and you don't know where she is my dad left us and we told them that and we only needed his signature but let me tell you something about the army (my husband is in the army)m it's hard you will be alone a lot and will have to do most of the stuff your self. it's hard to live on post to in housing there are so many rules and living on post is not like living in a new town a post is a town of it's own with it's own rules. what will you do if he deployed?? will you stay on post ?/ well you can't to be able to stay on post when your husbands gone and your under 18 you have to have a guardian living with you they don't allow 18 and under to stay , what will you do when he leaves for months at a time to train you will have to leave post them to,and to all of you that say a older guy just wants us younger girls for sex your wrong my husband is 21 an we have been together for 5 years since i was 14 so if it is sex them i must be good for him to stay so long. good luck

Answer 6

By law, 18 yrs old is a legal age (Canada). You could do whatever you want without parents' decisions. But that does not mean that you go wild and marry whoever. All I am trying to say is think before you do something...you might regretted some day. Think carefully before you go for it - is that person good for you? Is that person going to be there when you need them? Is that person a potential cheater?. Marriage is not something you could fool around with like Britney Spears, for example.

End note, just contemplate it for a while.

Answer 7

Yes you can. In the UK 18 is the legal age for everything, drinking also (but that's going upto 21 I think)! You do not need parents permission but if you are asking this question it may just be because you don't know but there may be something behind it, such as you don't think your parents would approve and you have to ask yourself why and really think about it because marriage for life! Good luck!

Answer 8

Yes, but why do you want to get married at 18? Stay together, but don't challenge the odds. A LOT of marriages that start at 18-19 don't make it. Be committed, but hold off for now, OK?

Answer 9

you could acording to the law beacuse it states that after the age of 18 you can fully decieed for your slef wiht out a perants say but it wouldnt be the right thing to do just go off and get marriaged at such a young age. imagine what your parents will be feeling as you go off and get married. if there telling you to wait they have a good reason trust me. your parents have been through this be4 so they no what there talking about even thogh to you at the time that there saying alll of this you rpob think there not being fare. even if you really love this person does that mean you ahve to get marriaded rigth away??? there nothing rong iht being bf and gf or even being engached for a while. allot of ppl are engaaged for years be4 they decied to get marriaed..


i would wait and just let it sit out. or just get engaged but that doesnt mean you have to get marriabed within the next few years.

wait trust me

Answer 10

Yes! You sure can. People will probably say that its not a good idea. Me and my husband got married when i was 16 he was 19 and have been for the past 4 years. Its a big step and takes a crap load of work!!!
