is there a law that says that a 29 year old man cannot be married to an 18 year old lady?

no. that might be state specific but after 18 that woman is an adult and can do as she pleases.

In CA, its illegal. My friend is 18 dating a 14 year old. They had sex. It was illegal.

I guess it would depend on what state you live in.  I know in Illinois  there is no way your getting married under the age of 18 w/o parents consent.

hmmm....depends on your state laws....LOL\n\nSeriously, it is completely dependent on a particular persons level of maturity...I know 50 year olds who cannot distinguish between love and infatuation.

No, I think the age limit is 35.

As long as she's legal age, then it's nobody else's business.  That should be between you and the woman.

Marriages between two people under the age of 18 are prohibited in Australia.\n\nMarriage to an Australian citizen does not automatically guarantee entry of a citizen of another country to Australia.  The Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs can advise on immigration to Australia.

I really do not see the harm for either sex provided that both are in close age proximaty. If an 18 year old and a 16 year old want to screw I see no groups for statuatory rape at all. Why is it that 18 is the magic number for most things, and 21 is the magic number for other (drinking), and a judge can determine to prosecute someone as an adult at nearly any age ? I think that the drinking age needs to come down to 18, and if we are going to define 18 as an adult, then 18 is an adult WITH NO EXCEPTIONS.

Yes\n\n\n\nby the way it is illegal for an 18 year old to "be with" a 15 year old in a relationship....you really should find someone your own age.

Depends on the people-She is of legal age so if they are okay with it I don't see any problem-That is only 14 years and I have friends who have been happily married for years with that difference in age.

it's prefectly legal if not a bit strange. the maturity levels between a 15 year old and a 12 year old are pretty different. the only legal problem that could arise is if after 3 years if they are still dating and the 18 yr old and 15 yr old have sex and are caught, that would be statutory rape.

I'm a little confused...if your friend is 35 it isn't illegal, she can still get him fired

Whoa, cowboy...just a point of order here, to keep someone out of trouble.  The whole "over 16" thing may be true in some states, but nobody here should think it applies in California.\n\nBecause it ain't so.\n\nIn California, you must be 18 and older to legally have sex.  Does not matter who consents to what.  End of story.\n\nMy apologies to the asker...this is not an answer to the original question and I probably should be made to forfeit two points just for doing it.\n\nOkay, let's look at the question:\n\nHmph.  Does not say what I thought it did.  In court, this question would be responded to with this; "Objection.  Assumes facts not in evidence."\n\nIn other words, the asker of this question is stating as fact that a man who sleeps with another man's wife (with her consent) can be charged (with what we do not know, but we'll assume a crime).  Therein lies the "fact" which is not in evidence yet.\n\nIn California, it never will be.  Two consenting adults can do doggone near anything they want to in California...the more I think of it, when it comes to sex they *can* do anything they want, as long as both (all?) agree.  \n\nSo the question, at least in my state, is flawed.  It states that a man can be charged for humping someone else's wife and that isn't true.  Therefore, a woman wouldn't be charged with humping someone's husband for the same reason...it's legal in this state.\n\nEven further, now that I think about it:\n\nIf we're talking about legally married spouses, then it's probable that someone could legally have sex at an age less than 18 in this state.  You can't legally marry until you are 18 OR with...umm...something... parental permission or emancipation, I think.  If you're emancipated, you can have sex as far as I know.  Not sure about the parental permission for marriage equalling the right to hump.\n\nBizarre question.\n\nEven more bizzare answer.

It depends on what state you live in.  Most states you need to be 18; however, some states you can marry even younger if you have parental consent.  Check your state law.

If both participants are adults, it's actually legal in most states.  Marriage is out of the question, but the act itself isn't illegal.
