  9. As far as I know, no where. You need parental consent to get married before 18yrs old. WHY do you want to get married do young? If he really loves you he will be around in 2 yrs.

  10. I'm not going to tell you I think it's a bad idea, because you are hearing that from everyone and no one is going to change your mind.

    You have to have a parent sign for you.

  11. you can't unless you have parental consent  

  12. In the United States, all but two states require a couple be age 18 in order to marry without parental consent. Nebraska sets the age at 19 and Mississippi at 21 at the time of this writing (May 2003). A few states will waive this requirement if there is a pregnancy involved, but the couple may still have to have court approval.
