How old can you be to elope??

Question

I live in utah and I'm fifteen years old....

Answer 1

you have to be 18 in the united states, i believe but i think with a parents concent you can get married younger

Answer 2

Too young, maybe 18 or 19 since you will finish high school. No matter what, just wait until then.

Answer 3

18 or 16 with parental consent.

Answer 4

You must be of legal age, which is 18 in the US, to elope.

At your age you must have parental written permission.

My question is why do you want to marry before you can legally work or drive? I'm not condemning you, but if you two truly love each other, it can wait until at least after graduation. I doubt you're ready to be a mother, and babies do happen despite the best of intentions or birth control.

Answer 5

Well you can elope at any age but who's to say you will get very far at the age you is now You may get as far as around the block try 18 and it won't be eloping it will be  your own decisions with no woories on your chest. Good Luck!

Answer 6

You have to be 18

Answer 7

why would you want to get married at 15? Wow. I couldn't imagine when I was 15 getting married. i didn't even think about marriage.

It's 18 years though.

Answer 8

You have to be 18 years old, anywhere in America

Answer 9

Wait about 7 years that should be just about right......seriously 15 is really to young to get married.....I don't think there is a state you can get married in without parental permission before your 18 an adult....

Answer 10

18 years old

Answer 11

It says something that you are asking the question, more than that you are in love.  If you are having parent problems, please get an appointment with your school counselor or your pastor.  Get help dealing with your problems.  Getting married at 15 says that you may be running away from them instead of running to Mr. Wonderful.

As the others have said, be patient and wait.  Get some of the 20's behind you first.  Discover who you are as an adult first.

Answer 12

18 but if your 15 you shouldn't be thinking about that yet, you will change a lot in the next 3 years. Give yourself time to find out who you really are

Answer 13

18...you have to have a marriage license or no one will officiate for you....and when you apply for one you have to prove you are who you say you are and how old you are.....

Answer 14

18
