Depending on how much time has passed, the system just may not have gotten to you. I would check with the Court and your... View More

Legally, if my research has been correct, one can get engaged at any age. However, I am getting mixed answers when it comes to marraige itself. Could someone between the ages of 16 and eighteen get married without parental consent (if one of the individuals parents both consent)?

Hello, more information is needed here. What is the specific accommodation you are requesting? It depends on that and the response the employer provides. I would reach out to an employment law attorney in your state for a consultation.
