Legal Question in Family Law in Mississippi

Re: Marriage Laws

To avoid parental approval, both parties need to be 18.

Re: Marriage Laws

Generally, the female must be at least 15 and the male must be at least 17. Until the female attains the age of 21, the application must be made in the county of her residence. After the application is filed, the clerk will send certified mail notice to the parents. They and anybody else has 3 days after filing of the application to raise any protest against the marriage. The minimum ages and waiting period can be waived by a Chancellor for good cause.
