    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.

    I'm 17 and my boyfriend will be 18 in January.He is origally from Mexico but he is a resident here, and he will become a citizen on his birthday.I am pregnant and we both want to move in with each other and get married. But since I'm only 17 I can't get married without my parents consent. Can I really get married in Mexico and it be legel in the U.S.? If so what is it that we need exactly to take with us.And what do you think about this? Keep in mind we really do love each other and want our baby to grow up knowing both of her parents.
