Family Law
  All States      
How old do you have to be to get married without a parent's consent?

In most states the minimum age to be married is 18. Though there are a few states with different laws. For example, the minimum age in Hawaii and Georgia is 16, the minimum age for males in Mississippi is 17 and females is 15, the minimum age in Nebraska is 19, and in Utah the minimum age is 18, but the law authorizes counties to provide for premarital counseling before issuing a license to persons under the age of 19 and persons previously divorced. (Warning: Just because you can get married, we don’t suggest that you do.)
