    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.

    Unless, the person you are marrying is 18 or older. What if you wanted to go to mexico because it isn't legal here? Once you get to mexico, you can put whatever age you want on your marriage license,legally.
