Which state has the youngest age to be married with parental consent?

Please excuse my horrible English.Which state has the youngest age to be married with parental consent?
In New Hampshire, you can marry if you are 13 (female) and 14 (male)...this is the youngest that I can find. There is a note to that: ';Any marriage contracted by persons under 18 may, in discretion of superior court, be annulled at suit of the party who at the time of marriage was under 18. The parent or guardian can also annul, unless the parties confirm marriage upon reaching age of consent (18 years).';





Mississippi (female only at 15) and Missouri will let you marry at FIFTEEN (15) with parental consent. A number of states permit you to be married with parental consent at the age of 16: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas (female only), Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, DC, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey (unless parents are of unsound mind). You can look the rest up at the website below.





Three states (Kansas, California, and Massachusetts) don't have a minimum age for marriage with parental consent.





And that webpage does go on to say that although you can marry at these minimum ages with parental consent, most of these states will require confirmation (permission) from the court and some states require counseling. I think you may need a lawyer's advice on what is the best way to go about this. Good luck.Which state has the youngest age to be married with parental consent?
You cannot be a resident of one state yet go off and get married in another because the legal age to marry is lower there. If you have parental consent, you could possibly marry in your own state, but since you do not provide that, this is difficult to answer.
The Queen of France was married at the age of 7.





Not sure, I think the youngest age is 13 in QLD. Not a 100% sure though.
The age at which one may marry without parental consent is the same in all fifty state, 18.
Each state is different. I believe 16 is the younges with parental consent.
