Question: If married in Mexico is it legal in the USA?

Answer: If it is a legal marriage in Mexico, then it will be legal in the US. The United States recognizes marriages from other countries, provided that you followed the marriage laws of the country you were married in. If you were not married according the the laws of Mexico, then the US would not recognize your marriage as legal.

What..are you crazy? Listen you are only 15 why would you get married now..you are still growing and you mind will develop and you will soon think differently on this subject. Believe me im not the same person that i was when i was 15. How would you even support yourselves? Its not as easy as it sounds..Im not trying to sound like a preacher, but i hope you listen
