Re: Marrige
Yes but only with approval of the parents AND the approval of the judge.
Aside from the law, please realize that the success possibiities of a teen marriage are less than 10% - meaning that most likely there will be children without a father or mother. If the prospective bride is pregnant, have her consider adopting out the baby to a two parent adult home where the child can get the love, care and attention it needs from mature commited adults. Teenage marriages are not solutions to problems, they create additional problems. If you want to talk about options, please call for a confidential no charge visit. (801) 876-4422
