I'm getting married at 17, and I wanted to know.....?

Question

That if at the time of applying for the license, since my Dad has to be there since I'm underage, if they will ask me if I'm going to school. I want to know because he still doesn't know that I am not going so I wouldn't want them to ask me in front of him because then he will know. I am planning to tell him but later when I get my GED. I know I don't want to go to college, I just want to put up a business which I think will succeed. An please you guys, do not tell me I'm too young, I've been living with my man for 2 years now, and we really want to get married because number one we love eachother and number two, we run a risk of him going to jail, since he's older than 18, we have already been stopped by some police and so please people, please don't tell me I'm too young because I've heard it since I was 15 and I'm tired of it. Try to answer my question because I asked the same question and people didn't even answer my question, instead ALL of them were telling me you're so young.

Actually I do know about business, since my both my mom and my dad own one and so I do know because they heve taught me a lot and I know a lot of people that are rich and didn't even go to college.

Ok now people are telling me..."Does your man love you enough to wait...." Do none of these people read the question right???? We've been stopped by police because I'm underage, I don't want him to go to jail!!! So no, we cannot wait, damn, read the question right!

And my man has tried to convince me to go back to school but I just don't want to cause I just want my GED. So he isn't going to pressure me into doing something I don't want too.

Answer 1

I got married at 17 and they didn't ask me. Im 19 now. Congratulations.

Answer 2

Oh man. Well I won't tell you you're to young cause you don't want to hear that so how about, theres a REALLY good chance of you ending up w/child and no husband in a couple of years. Not too nice of a picture I know but that's what the statistics point too. Also, the failure rate of business in the United States in the 1st year is 90% with companies having less than $100,000 initial cash flow. That's a pretty high failure rate!
This may mean nothing to you but I do hope indeed that it scares you! Not to mention that you would be starting your relationship out on a LIE to your father. Does that sound like a very healthy way to start? Does your man love you enough to wait for you to even finish getting a GED? Does he want the best for you in an education that will help you succeed in the business world? Here's the big one...do YOU love YOU enough to wait???

Answer 3

Tell him but get your stuff in line I am a gollage grad And if I could do it all over I wouldn't do that again. I would still do collage but not what I did it for. Go & get enroled for school your GED. I now own a bus. & I WILL hire any one without a HSD but no one w/ a GED. I also need more info for what you have planned. I almost dropped out but made up all my credits in my senior year. Went in with 11 came out with 24. If I were you call your small bus.buro or the local chamber of comerance. write a bus. plan that is where you Need to start. You are NEVER TOO YOUNG TO START A BUSS.

Answer 4

No sweetie since you all snippy and sh%@ you know it all so why you asking us of course you're lil immature behind is too young and if he is that old then maybe jail is where he needs to be cause he can;t socolize with his own age group. you need a reality check for real. Not in school not planning on going to college, imean really you need to re-read your own question and the you will see how stupid it really is. for a man are you not worth more than that? I guess not. Someone in your own age range? You read like a real complete idiot with no common sense. Your parents obviously tried but you were the ultimate decision maker cause if they knew i am almost positive being a parent myself they would make sure he is thrown under the jail.
So to answer your question H@## no You should not, but as others have already told you. You feel as if you're grown so you are going to do you regardless of what we say.

Answer 5

I know you don't want to hear it but it's really true. Don't get married now. Wait until you know more about yourself and what you want in life and a partner. I was it sounds like just like you. I got married when I was 18 and yes I had been living with him for a couple years also. But it doesn't work. You both are gonna grow and meet new people. And things are gonna change. You are definetly not ready to get married if your worried about your dad finding out your not in school. Why are you not in school? Another thing. Your husband (partner or whatever) should make you better. Apparently he thinks that you dropping outta school is a good idea. If you guys were mature enough and ready he wouldn't let you drop out because what good could possibly come from dropping outta school? Especially when you are so close. He should be pushing you to stay in school and better yourself. Not be his little housewife, barefoot and pregnant with no education.

Answer 6

My husband proposed to me out senior year in highschool, I was seventeen and we'd only been dating 6 months. We got married a week after graduation and three days after my eighteenth birthday. We will celebrate five years of marriage this June and have two beautiful and happy children.Getting married that young did have some disadvantages, don't get me wrong but marriage isn't perfect no matter what age you are. It takes a lot of hard work, sacrifice, compromise and love. Having children that early makes it even harder. But if you truly love each other and are mature and responsible enough then you can make it work. The only person that can tell you it is impossible is you. Just make sure you aren't getting married just to keep him out of trouble with the police. And depending on which state you live in they usually don't ask if you're still in school. Good Luck!

Answer 7

They are not going to ask you if you go to school.

I need to say this though. You will never amount to anything and your life will no way be close to what you ever thought it could be. By getting married so young, children are sure to follow and you have already given up on your education. I doubt you two will last past 5 years. Harsh, I know but you are starting your new life with a lie to your father. You need an education to run a business and money. You are in a dream world and it will seriously crash someday.

Good luck!

Answer 8

OK, your dad needs to sign his permission on the marriage license and you are afraid that the clerk will ask you about school and you don't want your dad to know you dropped out. Do I have this right?

You need to just tell your dad right now that you are no longer in school. You keep saying you are not too young to be married and that you will make your own decisions. Well to be a grownup means that you need to start taking responsibility for your actions and telling your parents the truth. Your over the age of 16 and you can drop out of school if you see fit but if you feel you are mature enough to be getting married then you need to own up. Reread your question and see how immature it sounds, " I am getting married but am afraid to tell my dad I dropped out of school."

Answer 9

what's the question? all i got was some form of keyboard diarrhea that you're 17 and want to get married and...you don't go to school? well that's obvious lol

"I need my daddy to be there cos I'm underage and I don't want to tell him I dropped out of school and the cops want to put my man in jail cos he's having an illegal relationship with me"

FYI laws are in place for many good reasons, such as protecting minors like yourself

why are you in such a hurry to ruin your life? you must have crap parents.

if you've been with this guy for two years what's the big deal to wait another year to be of legal age to get married then no one will ask if you go to school and you won't have cops after your boyfriend???

YOU DON'T KNOW IT ALL AND YOU ARE TOO YOUNG

Answer 10

Call the licensing division and ask them if they ask that question on the form. You might even be able to look at it beforehand online. Most counties have a website that contains all kinds of document's to cut down on traffic in their buildings. It's too bad you're not still in school and that you've been lying to your Dad. I hope you have a very happy and successful marriage. Good luck sweetie.

Answer 11

No they will not ask you if you are going to school. their primary goal is to get you your license. there your question is answered.NOW
You want to get a GED and don't want to go to college but you want to open a business. That is just plain dumb. Do you know anything about accounting, or economics or business. Unless your soon to be husband is already educated then you probably have nothing to worry about, But if he is one of the many GED'ers then good luck to you.
