    My question involves marriage law for the State of OHIO
    I WILL BE TURNING 18 IN A FEW MONTHS AND A PERSON I LIKE WILL BE 16 A FEW MONTHS AFTER. WE BOTH ARE CHRISTIANS AND DONT LIKE SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE. IS IT OKAY FOR AN 18 YEAR OLD TO DATE A 15/16 YEAR OLD.

    Dating is not the problem. Sexual contact is the problem. If her parents are ok with her dating an 18 year old, and if you do not have any sexual contact, then its perfectly legal. If her parent object, you leave her alone.

    And for the love of all things calm and quiet, please don't yell at us.

    (typing in all caps is considered shouting)

    First off turn the caps lock off. All caps = yelling when you write online.

    Are you asking about marrying a 16 year old or having sex or just dating? You can date all you want. If the other person is 16 - the age of consent is 16 in Ohio. There's no issue. If that person is 15 when you turn 18 better not have sex with that person. But I don't see an issue with a 17 year old and a 15 year old dating or a 16 and 17 year old. But it all depends on what the other person's parents think about it.
