Applicants must be 18 to obtain a marriage license without parental consent in Tennessee. Couples who are 16 and 17 years old may obtain a license with parental consent. The parents of each adolescent must be present and provide their children's birth certificates. The parents must also present their own state-issued photo I.D.s to prove that they are the parents. If one or both parents are deceased, death certificates must be provided. Tennessee marriage license law states that children under 16 may marry in special circumstances by obtaining a court waiver permitting their marriage. The waiver must be presented when applying for a marriage license.

There is no waiting period to obtain a marriage license in Tennessee, except for applicants who are 16 or 17 years old. The waiting period for 16- and 17-year-olds is three days. Once a license is obtained, it must be used within 30 days.

No, the legal age to get married in Tennessee is 17, with parental consent. If both parties are 17, they must have parental consent.

To marry in any state of Australia you must be 18 years of age or over. Once you and your partner have turned 18, you may get married without your parents' consent. If you are 16 or 17 and want to get married, you have to make an application to the Magistrates Court for permission. [Marriage Act 1961 (Cth)]

In TN, if you're under 16 you can only get married if you have a waiver from the Juvenile Court. Also, the age of sexual consent in TN is 18. Even if your parents choose not to press charges, the state can. Some states do (CA is a big one) and others don't. I have no idea what the norm is for TN.
