With a Parents Consent Can a 16 Year Old Marry a Guy of Any Age

[life0518]

My question involves marriage law for the State of: Florida

Once a marriage license is obtained by a 16 yr old female with parental consent can she marry a male of any age?

...that's now how a marriage license works.

There needs to be another party named on the license.

It's not like getting your driver's license and suddenly being able to drive any insured vehicle you choose...

...though that's likely a MUCH smarter option than getting married at 16.

Yeah it is. But I wasn't meaning it like its just that easy. What I was asking was if it could be consented for her to marry a guy of any age? If her parents sign off on it can she marry a 30 yr old guy? Not that she should or will but hypothetically. Any age man?

It doesn't matter.

If the parents give consent for her to marry John Doe, it doesn't matter whether he's 18, 38 or 78.
