I have heard that in SC you can get married under the age of 18 (I am 17) without consent of parents or court?

Question

Is this true, and where?

I'd like to thank the majority of you for not responding to the actual question. If you knew me, you'd probably think differently. Not all of us have 10 years to wait. Heard of cancer?

Answer 1

If you think going to school and obeying your parents' rules are tough, wait till you get married and are responsible for paying bills, maintaining a household, working low paying jobs, living in cheap, crappy places while all your friends are going to parties and proms.

Don't get married so young! Ten years from now you'll wonder what the heck you were doing with that person.

Answer 2

Don't do it. You aren't mature enough yet to make a decision like that yet. You will have 4-5 partners before your 21 that you think are "the one" you'll more than likely be wrong every time. You are going to change so much between now and your mid twenties that it's not possible to know that you want to spend the rest of your life with someone. I can almost guarantee this marriage will fail.

Answer 3

yeah I am sure that is gonna be a good idea for you!

Because everyone has been in love at 17, and many years later they all wish they got married while stil lin high school as it would have made their life sooo much better then it turned out to be.

If he loves you, then just be dating and wait a few years until school is done and your jobs or careers are better established.

If you can't agree to be together without being married, then do you really think you are qualified to be married to each other?

Answer 4

It's a stupid idea to get married before the age of 25, actually. Keep that in mind.

Answer 5

I think it depends on contract law. I'm pretty sure that universally though you're still a minor under 18, so I don't think so.
