Question On Marriage/legal Age Posted: 11-29-03 15:21pm
Ok I have a question. Dewitt has been
talking about marriage quite a bit lately.
I'm not sure if thats what I want, but if
I ever did say yes, I just need this
question answered.
Alright, if you have parental consent, can
a 16 y/o marry a 19 y/o. Becuz i'm not
sure where I heard, but I heard somewhere
that the statatory rape law doesn't apply
once the youngest person turns 16. I'm
not sure if its true, but it sounds
reasonable enough to be true.
I live in florida, so if anyone could help
me out, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Its legal here for a 16 year old to marry
with parental consent in sc, but I wouldnt
do it...I almost did and im 17, and im
preggie but it would have wound up in a
disaster and I thankgod every day that I
didnt go down to the curthouse like we was
spossed to, instead we broke up and I
moved out...Give it a few...Years!!!

Lol thanks....I dont know what im gonna
do....But it will definately be at least
another year and a half b4 I seriously
start to consider it. For that exact
reason. That, and I seem to have a major
problem with commitment. And as if a baby
didnt turn my world upside down, that sure
as hell would top it off! Lol. Id prolly
go nuts. So I think I just need a lot of
time to think about it. Right now i'm
quite happy where im at. He calls all the
time to see how im doing and such. And we
r getting along great. I really hope he
can come down for christmas! I really
miss him and wanna see him again! Hes
seriously starting to think about moving
down here when he turns 18! Yay! Lol.
Well thanks a blue mil girl. I really
appreciate the in-put.

I would wait. Just because your having a
baby doesnt mean you two will love each
other forever. Marriage is a big thing
and you need to be fully ready for it.
Give it a few years

Yeah I said I wasn;t terribly serious
about it....Just fun to think about. And
I wouldn't just because he is josh's
father. Believe me, i'm a brat. I never
settle for anything less than exactly what
I want. And I intend to make sure he's
what I want. But yeah I found out, in
certain states, florida and kentucky r the
only 2 I remember, u can get married
without parental consent if ur pregnant or
have a child. But the court has to
consent. But I aint like that. I want my
family to be there when I get married.
But yeah I g2g. Ttyl. Bye
