Can I get married?

Can a 17 year old get married to a 27 year old in Texas while in states custody?

Answer #1

Much older - criminal record…Food for thought: wise move ?

Answer #2

yuck man.

Answer #3

I’m not exactly sure, I think the 17 year old might have to get emancipated, but why not just wait another year? There would be so many less complications.

Answer #4

A 27 yo guy trying to marry a 17 yo gal is not only creepy, but just asking for trouble. Assuming that the 27 yo is in prison, let him get out and establish himself with a job FIRST. (If you search this site you will find that a lot of felons have a lot of trouble finding jobs.)

I’m not saying that an eventual marriage won’t work because I know of a very successful one, but your man doesn’t have a STEADY job yet.

If this is meant to be, waiting a couple of years won’t change it.
