  1. South Carolina: If you are under 18, you will need a certified copy of your birth certificate and a notarized statement of parental consent. The minimum age for a female is 14 and it is 16 for a male.


  2. If you have to ask, you probably need to think long and hard about getting married.  Go ahead and think about the financial costs related to a divorce, if nothing else.

    Without your parents consent, you have to be 18.  If your parents approve, you only have to 14 for girls or 16 for boys. (Could you imagine getting married in eigth or ninth grade?  That's insane!!!)

  3. 18

    "South Carolina: If you are under 18, you will need a certified copy of your birth certificate and a notarized statement of parental consent. The minimum age for a female is 14 and it is 16 for a male."

  4. 18, 16 requires parental consent

  5. i guess it must be 16, since that's the legal age you have to be in order to drop out of high school....

  6. Don't do it, homeskillet!  You will  regret it more than anything you've ever done.

  7. I dont want to be lying. But I think a while back someone told me 13.

  8. 18, younger with parents consent  

  9. i think 9 is the maximum age
