Each applicant must provide a social security number. What is the Earliest Legal Age One Can be Married?

If the male applicant is under EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS of age, and/or the female applicant is under SIXTEEN (16) YEARS of age, consent for the marriage must be obtained from the Juvenile Court. If either parent of a minor applying for a marriage license, resides out of the County or State, their consent must be obtained by their appearing before a Judge of a COURT OF RECORD and consent, in writing, before said Judge, which consent will then be returned to the Marriage License Bureau here, and filed.
