Could I get married if I'm unhappy at home?

I have a question… I am 16 years old. I am not happy at home and I was oundering if I could get married?

Answer #1

No matter why you go there you are… moving away from home and getting married isnt going to make you happier… Try to better the situation by finding more hobbies and meeting new people.

Answer #2

Heather is wrong… the guy will NOT be your guardian… but it would be better if you say, joined the military to become emancipated from your parents than getting married, but you still will need your parents consent. At least if you join the military, you will be making money wereas if you get married, it is more difficult to get a job. please ask if you need more help with this.

Answer #3

Okay, I guess I was wrong about that part, I can’t remember who told me that… but I cannot find anything to back it up. Here is a website that has each states law requirements for teen marriage and an article about it.

Answer #4

You can’t get married without your parents’ consent if you are under 18, in a few states the age limit is 17. You should google it for your state. But you probably shouldn’t get married just to get away from your parents, you might end up regreting it later… your guy might be nice to you now, then turn into a completely different person once you get married, he could turn abusive or whatever, then where would you go, he would be your legal guardian then? You should maybe try to go live with a relative if your situation is bad with your parents. Don’t make a big mistake that could determine or ruin the rest of your life though. Think about it.

Answer #5

don’t get married now because you don’t know yet if you met your real partner. you still have much time to be sure about it. Don’t solve a problem to stuck into another especially if you got pregnant, your life will be over. trust me
