Re: Islamic Marriage
First of all an Islamic marriage ceremony can be valid so long as the person marrying is recognized by state as someone authorized to perform a marriage ceremony. Additionally, a marriage license is required so that the marriage is sanctioned by the state.
Whether or no you are emancipated depends on your age. A marriage involving a minor may be considered
void. A marriage by someone under the age of 18 is not valid unless the parents or guardian give written, witnessed permission for same or the marriage is authorized by court order
