can i get married without signing any documents?

ZLATA	no. why the secret? if you don't want you parents involved , are you hiding something? you are 20, and still very young. why do you want to rush to get married?

gleelogan	if u 2 r under age..u need your parents signature!

sheeesmint	YOU HAVE TO SIGN A MARRIAGE LISCENCE...THATS WHAT MAKES YOU MARRIED NOT THE CEREMONY OR THE VOWS.

North	Unless you are underage and need their consent, what do your parents have to do with it?

Jen due December 09	No. You have to sign something to become legally married and recognized as such.

jenkaz23	You have to sign a marriage certificate to be legal. But I don't know why your parents would have to be involved unless your underage.

Cebsme	Okay I am assuming you are of a legally consenting age here. You need to sign a marriage license to become legally married. You have to be married by someone who is legally allowed to do so (can be someone like justice of the peace) and you have to have witnesses (not necessary to be your parents). As for your parents, you don't have to involve them. My mother wasn't involved in my wedding, she probably didn't even know I was married for about 3-4 years. It is not necessary to involve your parents if you choose not to. (by the way for anyone who will ask my mother and father divorced when I was 11, I hadn't seen her since that day. I got married when I was 18, still had no contact with her and felt no reason to have the woman who physically,emotionally and mentally abused my father and myself to be at my wedding)

Bears Mom	No, you have to sign a marriage license and then the marriage certificate after the vows are taken.

Candy Kisses	Yes in some tribal villages and stuff

pissy_old_lady	Your parents do not have to be involved in your marriage unless you are underage...and if you are, you should not be getting married. To be legally married you must sign documents making it legal.

Michelle L	If you want to be llegaly married then no......

s and d e	i don't understand why signing something has to involve your parents?

wisma29	I do not know from which country you are from. I would presume that almost in all countries marriages are documented. Only Majors need not have consent of parents as in ours. Marriage is a serious business as procreation is involved. I would advice you that you tread with caution for taking this step. Go and see the Marriage Registraar of your county or or your council. Their advice or instuctions would be the best. The person who conducts your mariage would make sure he is officiating a proper marriage. No person of sound mind would agree to pronounce you both married and leave it at that. He would land in deep trouble with the law. For both of you, that will be a disasterous start of your unofficial marriage.

eddood52	No. Any legal form of marriage always involves a marriage license and certificate of marriage for registration purposes. If you are of legal age, there shouldn't be a problem anywhere doing this, whether the parents are to know or not.

free_angel	You HAVE to sign a marriage license. If you don't, there's no prove that the marriage took place and is legally valid.

Tiss	You have to sign the marriage license, and the marriage certificate, but as long as you're over 18, your parents won't have anything to do with it.

bssd12000	No but if you do not want your parents to know then don't tell them. But you are grown why should you be ashamed of being married?

lunatic	If you don't know the answer to this question, you are SO not ready to be married.

angelcutie	no sorry.

Hi its me again	You'll have to sign, but they won't know unless you tell them or its in their local newspaper. OR unless your underage , then they'll have to know. but don't do that.

Keith Python	Not in North America

Giselina	Maybe you can have a spiritual ceremony. Anything beyond that would require documentation with signatures.

krishprud@yahoo.co.in_KISHORLAL	Soceity is created by legal frame work.. and Marriage is the basic Unit of society , legally created.. You are asking for Marriage means you want to enter into legal contract of the society and Law.. but at the same time do not want to sign any papers !! You are interested to enjoy the benefits without any legal binding... Better you have live in relationsip and forget about dreaming marriage..

Dorothy B	No....you must sign the register, and if you are old enough , you do not need to tell your parents.

Barbii	nO SE SI EN TU PAIS SE HACE ASI, PERO ACA EN aRGENTINA NII AHII.

Rigo	You can have the ceremony, but without the marriage license, your marriage won't have any legal validity, you will still be technically single and no rights granted to spouses. Are you asking this because you're a minor? because if you're of age, then your parents don't ever have to know. Elopements are not a new fad.

Tikva	Not legally.

Majik	what's the real point to getting married. i think that if a couple really loves eachother they dont need legal papers and thousends of $$$ blown off just to certify that. and when you are married, all you want to do is escape.

Brother Otter	No. You have to have at least a marriage license.

stonecoldone_2001	no you have to sign a marriage certificate If you don't the marriage isn't legal
