Re: marrige
I believe you may marry in Michigan if you have the consent of at least one parent. Perhaps you can obtain the consent of your father to marry. In the absence of the consent of your father, you may be able to marry legally in another state without parental consent. I am unsure of the marriage requirements of other states. The reason that there is a minimum age requirement (18 y/o) in Michigan is because the decision to marry is a very serious decision and should not be made lightly. Please carefully consider the option of waiting until you are at least 18. For more info, please contact my office at (248)851-3171.
