Yes. You can marry at 16!

Not if the 16 year old goes to Scotland to get married

Yes, but it would be a bit strange if you were a married woman but still had to have a responsible adult with you when being questioned by the police, which is what lizann asked.

Coronation Street spoiler – wedding shocker!
Coronation Street’s child grooming storyline is going to take a shocking twist when Bethany Platt agrees to marry her paedophile lover Nathan.
And the shocks don’t stop coming as it’s been revealed she’s going to be coerced into having sex with Nathan’s friend, not realising he’s paying her boyfriend for their x-rated encounter.
Bethany’s worried mum Sarah is going to be left on edge when she spots her daughter’s social media status has been changed from single to engaged.
While they worry, Bethany is over the moon having been given a flashy ring by her abuser.
It remains to be seen how far the soap is going to push this storyline but it looks like Sarah is going to face a race against time to save her daughter before she marries a monster.
Corrie boss Kate Oates is adamant the storyline is an important issue to speak about and said: “Bethany’s story has been crafted over many months, to create an awareness for viewers about the dangers of grooming.
“Her journey has begun in a way many young people will recognise: through feelings of low self-worth. Bethany’s story is a challenging watch: but we hope it will encourage open discussion amongst friends and families about self-esteem, confidence and most importantly, safety.”
