Assuming you live in the US, yes. (I don't know about laws on this in other countries.) Once you turn 18, you are legally and adult and you can get married without parental consent. |

You've been able to get married without their consent for 11 months. You legally become an adult when you turn 18. |

Legally you can get married without parental consent, but are you mentally and emotionally mature enough to handle the day to day stress of marriage. Just being in love isn't enough. A loving and committed relationship requires work to be maintained. Good commmunication, complete trust, compromise, and respect for your partner is necessary. |

legally you could have done this at 18 . but dont you want your parents' blessing? my guess is that if you dont want your parents to have a say, maybe hes not the best person for you...but i dont know him. your parents love you, and they just want the best for you. think thoroughly before doing anything rational. |

Yes. You are considered an adult at 18 |

Yes... but you should also listen to them and their reservations about your decision. 19 is REALLY young to get married. It might seem like a good idea now, but I can't imagine that it will give you that fairytale ending... |

If you live in the US.. In the United States, all but two states require a couple be age 18 in order to marry without parental consent. Nebraska sets the age at 19 and Mississippi at 21 at the time of this writing (May 2003). A few states will waive this requirement if there is a pregnancy involved, but the couple may still have to have court approval. (from http://www.coolnurse.com/marriage_laws.htm)
If you live in Canada.. In looking at Canada, all but one Province requires that a couple be 18 in order to marry without parental permission. British Columbia sets the age of majority at 19. Although a few areas will waive this requirement if there is a pregnancy, the couple may still have to have court approval. (from http://marriage.about.com/library/bllteenca.htm )
If you live elsewhere, simply time "marriage age in ______" filling the blank with the name of where you live. |

Yes because you are of age. |

Yes you can. But it would be better if you have your parents consent. Think further down the road. If they are against it then there will be the {I told you so} if something goes wrong. Times are hard during your first 5 or 6 years of marriage. Both of you will go through hell trying to adjust to each other and all the bills will be knocking at your door. If you have a child or two to come along that will add to the stress.
If you fight through the hard times then more than likely you will be together for life. I married at 19 and I have to say that it was tough but rewarding. If you love each other the parents will not be able to stop you but if they are for it then they can help and will help you during your hard times.
God bless and good luck. |

you can get married now!!!!!
but why would you want to. i can tell you that you will act and be different in three years and you will not be married. eveyone changes and right now you are a lil young and dont understand things. when you grow up you will see things different and you will regret the desicions you make as a child(18 year old). i say think about it and dont marry someone just to be married to this person, make sure he is the right one for you by waiting to get married. marriage isnt something to play with, you dont want to be divorced at 20. good luck. |

You can get married at 18 without parents consent... |

You can, but you probably shouldn't.
If you don't have your family behind you, marriage is a whole lot more difficult. |

not to be mean, but if you have to ask this question you should probably wait a while on getting married |

Sure you can. Good Luck |

Answer yes in the United States. However, take this into consideration, when I was your age my boyfriend was the most important thing in the world to me. To me it wasn't living without him. If I could spent 24/7 with I would have, I was already on my own and going to college. But things didn't work out like I planned and he cheated on me. If I would have been married it would have been so much harder to leave. I am married now, I got married 7 years ago and all I know is if I could go back in time knowing what I've learned throughout my life. I would have stayed single a hell of a lot longer. Marriage is not easy and....do you know how long the rest of your life is? It could be a pretty darn long time. Don't get me wrong, I'm not miserable or anything, but I missed out on a lot of fun because I'm married and I have to take someone else's feelings and lifestyle into consideration. Which usually means a lot of compromising. Just really think about it. |

Yes, but why would you want to? Getting married is a big deal and your whole family should be there to support you. Talk to your parents about it openly and honestly. Have answers for 'Where will you live?' and 'How will you support yourselves?'. Hopefully they will choose to support your decision once they see that you have really thought about it and have made up your mind. |

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. I mean, don't you want to get married with everyone's blessing and joy? Imagine your parents' reaction when they know. |
|
You ask, I answer
|
you could have gotten married 11 mths ago, at 18, but don't get married too young. think it over. |

As long as the person you want to marry is of legal age as well...In most states the legal age for marriage is18 by the way. |
