Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

I'm a green card holder in USA. My visa type is F43. My family got a sponsorship and came to USA in last December. I'm going to marry on this November from my home country. My question is can go back to my home country and get married? since i haven't even stayed here at least a year does that makes any problem?Is there any restrictions like I have to stay in US for some time in oder to travel to my home country?

No restrictions on travel or anything like that. If you plan to be outside the country more than 6 months, you need a re-entry permit.

The problem I foresee is that your spouse will not be able to return to the U.S. with you. You will need to file an I-130 petition, then it must be approved & the priority date must be current in order for your spouse to obtain an immigrant visa at the U.S. Consulate abroad. If you wait outside the country with your spouse, that could cause some problems with the residency issue, affidavit of support, etc.
