Can someone under 18 get married to someone who is 18?

Okay one of my friends is 16 she is going to be 17 this year. She has a 18 year old boyfriend and they want to get married i know people might think they are too young to decide this right now but is it legal for them to get married?Can someone under 18 get married to someone who is 18?
They are way too young to do this right now. They need to finish high school, college, then get settled into a career before they think about marriage. No your friend cannot get married with out parental consent until she is 18.Can someone under 18 get married to someone who is 18?
She will need her parents to sign legal documents allowing the marriage to take place.(because she is under 18)


He is an adult in the eyes of the law and can sign his own documents. I'd tell her to wait a year, do you really want a permission slip to get married? lol


Anyways, legally speaking, if her parents will both sign off on it then she can marry him.





EDIT: even in Vegas she'd need her parents. Let me explain why:


18 is the age the law says you are an adult. Until then you cannot enter into any contracts. Your parents must enter into them on your behalf. Marriage is a contract, just like any other, so you must be 18 to enter into it. However at 16 you can enter into marriage with parental permission. Make sense? I hope so. I tried explaining it the best I could. lol
Only with parent consent or legal emancipation through the courts





Good luck
people here do not seam to know ow much things has changed yeas they can get married without no consent of no one.


god bless and good luck..
the parents need to give permission!!


it is better to wait!!


enjoy of being boyfriend and girlfriend!! (tell it to your friend!!)
if the 17yr olds parents sign the papers saying that she can get married they can.
the one younger than 18 needs her parents to sign and give permission.. hope they are happy (:
