Can a 17 year old get married while in DSS custody?
DSS means Department of Social Services. I don't know if you can get married while DSS has legal guardianship of you, but everyone is going to tell you DON'T get married. You are coming from a troubled background and need to work out those issues before you jump into marriage, in addition to your being very young for marriage. In a year (or less), though, you won't have to jump through any legal hoops, because you can do whatever you want, make whatever mistakes in life that you want, including getting married. So what's the rush?

Can a 17 year old marry a 21 year old?
Yes. There is nothing wrong in having age gap with your life partner. But marriage is a decision that will change your whole life. So I feel it is very early for you to decide to get married. Spend some time and try to know that person properly. Don't rush to marry someone because he is there for you. This is the age of yours when you like everything you can have. But your 20's might change your decision. And if you have take such a big decision, it might bother you from doing something you want to do at that age. So wait for some time. Let you both grow some more mature and then if you both are still together, decide to marry. Good Luck. :)
Can a 17-year-old girl marry a 29-year-old?
It happens all the time and it happened all the time. Age is just a number so go for it. My only warning is that you make sure you are mature enough emotionally and you have your parents support at your age. You can only get the maturity with life experiences. The more you seek out this experience it will come to you faster. But 12 years isn’t that large an age margin, I’d be more worried if this guy was 22 or 32 years older. Also you have to evaluate the guy to make sure he is really a nice guy who is concerned about you. Ask your friends and family but don’t listen to people who base their decision solely on age they’re blinded by their own biases.Why do people insist on saying why marry at such a young age or that it’s not smart? You gals need to open your eyes. Women marry men close in age and then don’t understand when he stops paying attention to them 10–15 years later. Or that a younger woman gives the guy a little attention and hes off to the races.When you are significantly younger than a man he will always appreciate you more just like you find animals cute or you have a preference for your kids that look more like you. It’s biased but it’s life. you don’t have to be young forever but as long as you are much younger the man will always be the envy of all his friends who were gullible enough to believe spouses should be around the same age. That man will then feel lucky and that’s how you keep a man. It may not be your story book romance but it’s how people’s minds work. If you have some sort of exception in your marriage look again. Look closer. If you still believe you do then good for you, you’re the one in a billion. With rare exceptions you never play a one in a billion game unless you expect to lose.
Can a soldier marry a 17 year old?
the age of consent is a factor and if you want to marry him before you turn 18 you will need your parent's consent before you can even get a marriage license. i was 17 and my, now husband, was 23. i turned 18 last month and we got married on the 17th of this month. so i resent that last answer. "17 year olds don't fall in love". you couldn't be more wrong. love doesn't know age. i fell in love at 17 and i am now married to my soldier. but its just better to wait until october. its really not that far away if you look at it. don't worry about it really. my husband didn't get into any kind of trouble. and his NCO's and all that knew i was 17 and that we were engaged and they didn't care. and just because he is a soldier does not mean he's going to die soon. my husband spent 15 months in iraq (just got home in september) and he is perfectly fine. no injuries or anything. my brother-in-law has been in afghanistan for the past 10 months and he's infantry and he hasn't even a scratch on him. and he's coming home in june. in fact he's packing up right as we speak. so don't let that first answer worry you. its nonsense
Is it okay to marry a 17/18-year-old, if you are 24?
What i feel is that you should say "NO". As this will help you to focus on your goal and not only that but allow her to carry on her education. The girl should be at least 20 for a 24 yrs guy...isn't it?
