How Old Do You Have To Be..?

Question

how old do you have to be to get married in florida?

Answer 1

In most states a person between the ages of 16-17 can obtain a marriage license with parental consent, which should tell you marriage isn't something you're ready for if you need your mom and dad's permission.

In all states, 18 and older can receive a marriage license.

Answer 2

isnt it either 18 or 16 with parents consent?

Answer 3

Florida: If an individual is under 18 years of age, but older than 16 years of age, a marriage license can be obtained with parental consent. If a minor's parents are both deceased and there is not an appointed guardian, he/she may apply for a marriage license. A minor who has been previously married may also apply for a license. A minor who swears that they have a child or are expecting a baby, can apply for a license if the pregnancy has been verified by a written statement from a licensed physician.

( I hate the law that says if they're expecting they can get married... How many people would get pregnant just so they could get married?... Scary to think about if you ask me)

Good Luck
