Marriage before 18


What is the name of your state?Oklahoma

I'm 17 years old and I got into a fight with my father, he hit me and he threatened my boyfriend and is planning on telling the cops that I ran away and that my boyfriend is harboring a runaway. My friend came up with the idea to get married to get me out of the house, but I'm not pregnant and I don't have parental consent so is there any possible way we could get married before I turn 18. I fear this is my only way out of my house and away from my father, someone please help me. The cops say that it's my word against his because my sister and grandmother refuse to say anything. Please, someone help me.

My response:

Oh, didn't you know? Getting married at the ripe old age of 17 is ALWAYS the solution to any problem. Who lives in the trailer?

Just leave.

Getting married will not fix your problem. If your father is hitting you, then you need to call the police or CPS and tell them what's going on. If you have any marks from where your father has hit you, that should be proof enough.
