What do you all think about teen marriage? Even if the girl isn't pregnant by the guy? If they've been in a relationship for 3 years or more? Or even if the girl gets pregnant? Have you experienced teen marriage? did it work out for you? Can a 16 or 17 year old get married to a 18, 19, ect. year old with her parents consent??

i mean you could get married but the real problem is how will you live? how will you pay rent? where will you work without even a high school diploma that will pay enough to pay the bills? most teens can't move out from their parents' house because they can't afford it. if you get your own apartment and support yourself go ahead. oh, and it's pretty hard to sign a lease, etc. if you're not 18. it's almost impossible for teens to make a marriage work because they don't have the resources or are not able to be responsible in my experience. they usually end up living with their parents.

Usually with a parent's signature/consent, a teenager can do almost anything.
I was married at age 19 and my husband was 19 too. We're now 21 with a 9 1/2month old baby boy. We both have been through a lot together, even before the marriage. We get along great. We have different tastes in music, fashion,etc but our parenting and discipline morals are about the same.
I know you're probably meaning 16-17 kind of teen, but 19 is still a teenager too.

That you could get married,but no longer yet.17 shouldn't be an age to get pregnant in any respect in view that you are nonetheless a child and you havent stopped developing yet,despite the fact that it appears so.You dont discontinue growing except you are 21,however there is not any point in announcing that now.If your parents say no,there's purpose at the back of it.You are bringing another lifestyles into the world who's your 24/7 accountability until the age of 18.So should you dont have ample money or savings or a steady job to live on,you're doing all of your youngster injustice by way of forcing it to endure together with your struggles.Ask your moms and dads if they are inclined to care of the baby.If they're,you are lucky.Return to college/tuition and finish your education.Get a good job(both you and your associate) with the intention to support your household and provides your baby a good life.As soon as the whole thing falls into location and you guys are mature enough to understant the meaning of 'marriage',which you could go forward and make plans.For the reason that marriage is a life-long commitment,you are not able to run out on every other if there is a concern;it will best have an impact on the little one's lifestyles.So take heed to your father or mother's advice,take responsibilty in your movements and established a excellent existence to your little one. Excellent success.

I think it's wonderful. My mother in law got married @ 15 and had her first son @ 16. She and my father in law have been happily married for 40 years. My oldest sister in law got married to my now 35 year old brother in law @ 14 and Alhamdullilah they have 13 children and are doing great. I got married @ 19 to my 28 year old husband @ the time 1 year ago. It's the best decision I ever made besides reverting to Islam. A 16-17 year old needs her parents consent to get married because she is a minor. My daughters will be getting married @ 15.

If that's what YOU feel is right in your heart, all the more power to you sweetie.
My parent's friends have been married since they were 14 and now they're well into their 60's.
It's amazing how young love can last sometimes even better than waiting.
Don't wait around to please everyone else, if you love this guy and want to marry him, GO FOR IT!
But, yes parental concent is unfortunatly needed...
I'm 18 and my boyfriend[27] is proposing @ Christmas, and we want to get married next year sometime!! =)

I think teenmarriage CAN work. It just depends on the situation.
I have a friend, she just turned 16 Nov. 27, and she just gave birth to a son, Rylee Cain, on Nov. 4th. Her fiance/babys dad have been together for almost 2 years. He just turned 21 on Oct. 27. They plan on getting married this month or sometime soon. I know it will work. He's a good guy & shes a good girl. Their living together & are doing good raising their baby so far.

I have nothing wrong wiht it at all. Its no ones place in life to tell someone how to or how not to live there life.
Usually its the people who got divorced who are against it. You'll see someone going "I got married at 19 and got divorced". Well thats nice at all and they are not you. Just because some peoples marriage gets screwed up does not mean its going to happen to everyone.
Now a days no one takes you seriously until your 25, a college graduate, and have a high paying career.
Clearly your not going to please everyone. And no one but the two can really know if they are truly in love.
People sit there saying "if your really in love you can wait".
Honestly, why should you HAVE to wait?
To please OTHER people?

If that's what you want then go for it. But keep in mind marriage is a very serious thing. I'm 22 and I have friends my age who are already divorced.
