Who May Be Married in Vermont?
A man and a woman who are each at least 18 years old may marry in Vermont. If you are at least 16, but under 18, you will need the consent of a parent or guardian. Your parent or guardian should accompany you to the town clerk’s office to sign an affidavit giving you permission to marry.
The affidavit is on the back of the marriage license and is a legal part of the License. If one or both of you are under the age of 16 and a Vermont resident, you may not be married in Vermont unless you first furnish the town clerk with a certificate from a probate, district, or superior court judge of the district or county in which the underage person resides.
If the underage person is not a Vermont resident, you must furnish the town clerk with a certificate from a judge of the district or county in which the marriage will take place. By Vermont law, no one under the age of 14 may marry in Vermont. (18 VSA, Û 5142)
