Question: Is it possible to get married without parents' consent?

Answer: In Arizona, anyone under the age of 18 needs to have the consent of the parent or guardian that has custody over them in order to get married. See A.R.S. § 25-102. Anyone under the age of 16 also needs the approval of any superior court judge. Although no blood tests or waiting periods are required for marriage, there must be a license and a ceremony. A marriage license must be obtained from the Clerk of the Superior Court.

All I have to say is that, you're young. You may think this is what you want, but you have no idea yet. Your mind will change in a few months. And if you have a boyfriend that is several years older (especially is youre under 18), honestly, he only wants sex. he can go get a better girlfriend his own age. No offense, im sure you girls are good girlfriends, but you are not nearly as mature as them. they will leave you for someone closer to their age. dont get your heart broken by some man.
