Of course you can marry her... But why would you? You are more than twice her age! How is it possible that a 58 year old man could be so devoid of wisdom? What could the two of you possibly have in common? I'm sure it's great for your ego to say that you are with a 24 year old girl, but you're old enough to know that a relationship requires much more than that. You're only thinking of yourself, and not about what's best for her. I happen to have a 24 year old daughter, and if she was going to marry a 58 year old man I would be outraged.

Of course you can marry whom ever you choose as long as they are of legal age. However, are you prepared to deal with the fall out? Many people will give you strange looks or be purposefully be rude. I am sure many of your own family and many of her family will also not be happy with this decision. Have you given any thought to what will happen when you get older and perhaps ill or incapacitated or even die? What will happen to your wife then?
I think you really need to talk about all the possibilities and all the difficulties you may encounter and how or if you can handle it.

Yes, if you love each other, you certainly should marry. Many people in this society have issues with older men marrying younger women; however, in many cases there is true love surrounding that marriage. Instead of worrying about what other people think, be grateful that you have a younger woman who loves you enough to marry you. There are many men your age who would love to be in your shoes; therefore, you should proceed forward.

As long as you are both concenting adults you can marry whomever will marry you!
You're 58, you should be able to manage most anything I would think
Good luck!

Eventually differences are gonna catch up; energy levels are gonna end splitting you guys apart, but if you feel like is totally worth it give it a try. Make sure you sign a Pre-nup just in case.

I don't think age matters but there are a lot of things and people in your life you might have to think about. Is it love or lust? If you have children what do they think about it and her? what about her family? Good luck with whatever you choose.

If you truly love this girl and she truly loves you, you are both old enough to make the decision.
Only you can know if you can handle it.
Wishing you all the best :)

Anna Nicole Smith--and whatever her husband's name was.
Think about that then make a decision.
It's up to you, who cares what society thinks.

If you both truly love each other and you protect yourself financial with a prenup then go for it.
