    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 agree completely wit bobbie. i got a lil discouraged readin these comments cuz every1 thinks its cool 2 get married young. guess wat ppl, 18 is young. wait til then. so many of u say "but i luv him now." gr8! wait 2 or 3 more years til ur 18 and if u really love him u'll still wanna get married then. as 4 those of you mad at ur parents cuz they won't sign 4 u 2 get married, they have ur best interest at heart, whether or not u wanna believe it. and if ur under 18, ur still a kid. wait 4 adulthood. and b4 u go thinkin i'm just some old lady who don't think kids can make decisions, i'm only 15
