Can A Girl Get Married At 15?

Skippy The Wondertard

Skippy say only if she want to be divorced by 18

To young, they'll be getting a divorce in less than a year.

It's possible but I hope not. A 15 yr old lacks the maturity to know what they want with re: to a long term relationship...they aren't finished being kids yet.

If your parents have granted permission, it's legal. But what do you mean they want to get married so they can stay together? What's stopping them?

And it's really irresponsible for your parents to approve. She's a 15 year old girl! At 15, you don't have any life experience outside of your parents' home. They are setting her up for a failed marriage at a young age. Some parenting...

he is an adult and a paedophile... she is a child!!!

just me

wow...I can't believe your parents are allowing this!! Guaranteed she'll be divorced before she is 20.... Why can't they just stay engaged until she is at LEAST 18? hmmm...don't know if it is legal...Probably depends on the state.

It depends on the state. Even with parental consent most states are 16 or 17. however some are 15 with parental and judicial(approval of a judge) consent

Texas and Utah are even 14 with proper consent

North Carolina: 18 generally, 16 with parental consent, unlimited in case of pregnancy or birth of child with parental consent.
Virginia: 18, 16 with parental consent.[45]

Generally once a minor gets married they are considered 'emancipated' as well and have all the legal rights of an adult.

This would be a very big mistake.

Yes it is legal as long as your parents give her permission and if she really loves him she should go for it sometimes people do get married young and have it last but sometimes its always over after a year of marriage. She should just do what her heart is telling her to do.

summerfunnnnn

your parents are stupid if they let them do this

It's legal, AS long as the it has parent permission, I believe. But to be perfectly honest, I don't think a 15 yr. old girl should get married, jus' for the fact that she has yet to experience life, and she's not exactly mature enough to understand jus' what a marriage intails. Hope this helps.

Purplemonster

probabaly, but NO ONE should get married at 15 espically if she is getting married to someone who is 18, plus if they did 'it' it would be considered statutory rape, since it is with a minor!!! so i would tell her not to go through with it.

"DON'T DO IT"...You have you whole life....stop and think...Dont do something you will regret later..Trust me!!!

yay. it's me. [[VT!]]

As long as they have parents' permission, as far as I know, it should be fine.

However, I'd say it's in their best interest to consult a lawyer--just in case; you don't want them to marry, then five years down the road, have someone come and say that it actually wasn't legal, so their marriage isn't valid. That can open a lot of problems, so it's best to talk to someone legally able to explain things...

Also, just ignore the people here that say they're "too young" I know people, aged 15 and 21, that, in all honestly, I think could get married any day. And it truly would last forever.

As long as they're both mature and responsible, and can handle their lives without too much outside help, I think they'd be fine.

I would strongly suggest you seek the advice of a trusted clergy member in your community. At 15 your mind is not the most reliable tool for something to base a act that holds an extreme commitment level. Lets say you do get married, you begin to be husband and wife, How does that effect your school? How is support given to this new marriage? Where does he work? What is your and his 5 year, 10 year, long term life plans? Where are you going to stay? Always with parents? Friends? My mother had me when she was 14, and was cheated on and ended up in divorce court before age 15......And it continued for "Dad" that cycle continued a downward trend to his life. Is this really what you desire to be a possibility in your life? I pray it is not. Dating yes...And even there be careful. But marriage.....As an ordained minister, I would not even begin sitting down with you or him in premarital counseling. I would however council on the issues and feeling that you are dealing with. There is a strong suspicion that you are infatuated as well as he, and not truly IN LOVE. I'm sorry if this hurts, but sometimes the best medicine and healing and cure, does. Be Blessed. Mac.

Thanks, RR

Why does she want to grow up so quickly? She should wait at least another 10 years.

Dizzle

Why would your parents let her get married so young? she's gonna get pregnant at 16 and divorced at 18. You should tell your sister she's making a big mistake.

kittykat

I got married at 17 and it was so stressful and wish now that i would have waited. Shes way to young, what is wrong with your parents

flower child

please show your sister what everyone here has said. I got married at 19. Needless to say IT DID NOT WORK! How long have either one of them held a job? Where are they going to live? Do they have cars? Health ins? But to answer your question, here in Texas as long as mom and dad agree and sign-they can. If they really want to do it, recomend they live together by them selves for a year, and if they make it (with out having a baby) then and only then go for it! Good luck!

hottoddy

I know this will sound mean but i would go ahead sign papers, then tell them to get out and be married let them see the real world. I love my kids and thank the lord they never done this crazy thing before, I think the 15 yr old will be right back home before she turns 16.....not a good idea at 15....

ladybug

i know from experience with a family member unless she is pregnant in most states even with parental consent they can not get married because she is just too young now if she were 16 it is a different story but still she would have to be pregnant before they would allow it even with parental consent

Nicky

If i were you i would make like im into her bf so that she can leave him your parents are insane she is still a baby im 22 and im still daddy's girl even though i was engaged and have a kid
