I'm am 18 yrs old and my girl is 16 and I want to know can we have sex legally? If she wants to move in with me. If she gets pregnant and we decide we want to get married can her mom legally stop her from getting our marriage license? And my last question is, if we get married can she legally move in with me and my family without her mother's consent? Please Help.
In Georgia, the age of consent to have consensual sex is 16. This is the age at which you can no longer be a victim of statutory rape.
2006 in Georgia, there were changes in the law regarding marriage and the minimum age. Some county and city websites may not be updated yet.
You must be at least 16 years of age to be married in Georgia.
16 or 17 year olds may obtain a marriage license with permission from both parents (if still married and together); or, either parent if one is unavailable due to illness; or, if parents are divorced or widowed, permission must be obtained from the parent with legal custody or legal guardianship.
The parent(s) must either appear in person before a probate judge in the county where the marriage is to take place; or, if they reside in a different county they may appear before any judicial authority who is authorized to issue marriage licenses in their county of residence. A certified copy of the minor's birth certificate must be provided and for the permission to be official a certificate with official stamp or seal must be obtained from the probate judge or authority showing the parents appeared and gave permission for the marriage to proceed.
In Georgia, the age of majority is 18. Until the age of majority is reached, a person is under the legal care and control of their parents or legal guardians. No person may interfere with those parental rights unless a court of law determines otherwise.
