Because as a teenager, you have not truly experienced life and really don't know what you want from it.  You need to grow up a little more....LIVE.

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.

I think any marraige, teen or not, just for the sake of a child are setting the couple up for failure. Eventually, there will come a time in their lives where one person (usually the man) who feels resentment for giving up his freedom because of a child. Most people who marry because of a child don't even fully love the person they are marrying. Now this isn't to say that teen marraiges don't work out... I'm just saying the cards are stacked against them and they have to work hard TOGETHER to get through and prove the world wrong.

I would not advise getting married. You are too young to be debating marriage. Don't rush into marriage. Marriage is more than "I Love You".

As long as it isn't putting your child in a bad place, e.g. bad schools, worse chance at life, I don't see why not.  Why not get married first?  Will your parents let you back if you decide it isn't right?

Are you sure you want to get married at your young age?  Do some research and look at the statistics.

It is best to wait until you get married, but I lost mine at 17.  I've regretted it ever since.  I am 25.

Immorral, illegal and dangerous.  You face all kinds of STD's, teen pregnancy and the burden of having a child (guy or gal)  You should ideally wait till you are married, but sexual relationships are too emotionally intense for a teenager and the end of it is much more difficult.  Enjoy other parts of life at this time.

It's doesn't matter if you're in school, what matteris how mature you both are.\nMy husband and I were both 19. We were on our own, had stable jobs (I was in the Navy and he was in the Marine Corps), were financially independent, and more mature than most our age. We didn't like going out and partying or drinking (we out grew that stage in high school) and we knew we loved each other. It worked for us but it is harder. Statistics are against us but we know we'll last. \nThere are advantages to waiting but if you really love one another, and you'll willing to deal with extra issues (it is very hard) then get married now.

if you are married and starting a family in your teens you re probably not in America. Here it is generally assumed that people want to goto college and stuff befor they form that kind of commitment.\n That being said I have found that early teens that get married tend to be married the longest. But her is the caveat. these people are not happily married and worse resent the time they have spent together. \n There are a few exceptions but mostly that is what I hve seen :)

I think the positives of marriage center around being with someone I couldn't imagine my life without. It's like having your best friend, best lover, and biggest supporter all in one person. The negatives are you loose your "life" in certain ways... you can't behave like you're single anymore. You no longer can do things simply because you want to...you have another person to consider. Plus, if you get married too young...well, it's almost like fighting our human nature to go out and procreate....it's hard to completely "settle down" when you're young

I dont think there is a good age to get married, just make sure its the right time for you.  Never rush into marriage even if you are determened to be with the same person for the rest of your life, plan your wedding the way you want it and start saving for the things you would like.  I get pressured alot from my boyf family to marry now.  But even thou ive been with him for over 8 yrs we know we want he full works at our wedding and we know that doing it now is easy but thatwould be a budgetted wedding and its not what we want.

Not unless a particular state law says so, which could be true in some circumstances of medical and social work and teaching professionals. Unless you have been appointed the Official Nosy Parker for your commune.\n\nAnd as for the matter of a 15-y.o. married to a 21-y.o., that creates interesting issues as to which see the references.
