The Texas state law is that seventeen is the age of consent, so a 16-year-old could not give consent. She could marry the PV2 with her parent's permission, since she's older than fourteen.

Neither of these answers is "for sure," SSG (Join to see). Your family member (or you) would want to talk to a military lawyer for a definitive answer.

Chief Montgomery is accurate about her being able to marry in Texas as long as HER parents sign a consent form with the county clerk in order to issue a valid marriage license. UCMJ doesn't have any restrictions that would otherwise preclude the state law being applied.

Texas The age of consent is seventeen. With parental and judicial consent, parties can marry but not below the age of fourteen for males and thirteen for females. Common law marriage is recognized.

I would run the question through the base JAG office for the definitive answer. I would even try to get a Memorandum for Record or email answer, just in case there is someone down the road that causes trouble. That being said, all my friends in JAG tend to err on the side of caution.
