==Getting married==


People age 19 or older can marry. Young people between 16 and 19 can marry with the consent of their parents or guardians. Young people under 16 usually can't get married. They have to go to court first and ask a judge for permission to marry. The judge will only agree if they think to do so is in their best interests.
