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.

I am 17 and my boyfriend is 24. We have been together for 2 years now, and he has gone to jail 3 times because of our relationship. He will soon be going back again, for a violation because he continued to see me. I think that if it's TRUE love, he will stick around no matter what!
