in the world of guitar , one of the most popular and useful of these scales is the mixolydian / blues hybrid . a combination of the mixolydian mode and the blues scale , the mixolydian / blues hybrid scale reigns supreme as the chief source for carving those major / minor blues - based licks that sound so good over dominant 7th chords .
i call this the “mixo - dorian blues scale” because it combines the three scales above into one scale . i have had very limited success getting my students to improvise with the blues scale . it doesn’t have enough note choices for students to sound convincing when improvising . however , i love teaching the mixo - dorian blues scale because it has more harmonic choices that are consistent with the way a jazz musician might approach soloing over a blues tune . i have had much greater success teaching the mixo - dorian blues scale , and i recommend it to other jazz educators and to budding improvisers ! this scale has been tested with my students , and i am happy with how quickly my students are able to sound like they can solo over the blues when they use this scale instead of the blues scale as their starting point .
nice lesson here 🙂 the mixo - dorian scale can be named mixoblues scale or mixolydian blues scale . this can be confusing . am i wrong ? thanks urltoken
the “mixo - dorian blues” scale combines three scales into one scale . it has more note choices than the blues scale , and can be used to create a more authentic , informed jazz solo over a blues . of course , students should actually listen to lots of jazz so they know how jazz improvisation is supposed to sound , but i feel this scale is a better starting point than the blues scale because it tends to help students discover more of the notes that an actual jazz musician might choose when improvising over a blues .
many band directors arm their beginning jazz students with the blues scale and unleash them on the unsuspecting jazz world . sometimes the students haven’t even heard of miles davis , but they can blow that blues scale ! while you have to start somewhere , i’ve heard enough misuse of the blues scale that i’ve come up with a better solution to teaching a student to solo over the blues .

the ever - popular e7 # 9 chord ( a fixture in blues - rock and hard - core funk ) can prove the perfect vehicle for the e mixolydian / blues hybrid scale . this is an enticing situation , as the chord is not only dominant in quality but also contains a sharp 9th ( f # # —or g ) which is the enharmonic equivalent of a minor 3rd . check out how the chord and the scale complement each other in the funky blues - rock example in figure 3 .
as its name implies , the mixolydian / blues hybrid scale is created by superimposing the blues scale ( 1 - b3 - 4 - b5 - 5 - b7 ) over the mixolydian mode ( 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - b7 ) . figure 1 shows this process in 4th position in the key of a .

if you play the a mixolydian / blues hybrid scale pattern in figure 1 like you normally would a diatonic scale , you’ll quickly discover that it doesn’t sound quite right . this is because it is a synthetic scale and not intended to be used in conventional fashion . its purpose is to help you overlap blues - scale phrases with mixolydian lines ( and vice versa ) .
james then begins to stalk dorian , causing dorian to fear for his life . however during a shooting party , one of the hunters accidentally kills james vane who was lurking in a thicket . on returning to london , dorian tells lord henry that he will be good from then on ; his new probity begins with not breaking the heart of the naïve hetty merton , his current romantic interest . dorian wonders if his new - found goodness has reverted the corruption in the picture , but when he looks he sees only an even uglier image of himself . from that , dorian understands that his true motives for the self - sacrifice of moral reformation were the vanity and curiosity of his quest for new experiences .

sibyl vane – a talented actress and singer , she is the beautiful girl , of a poor family , with whom dorian falls in love . her love for dorian ruins her acting ability , because she no longer finds pleasure in portraying fictional love as she is now experiencing real love in her life . she kills herself on learning that dorian no longer loves her ; at that , lord henry likens her to ophelia , in hamlet .

prince charming
, and swoons with the happiness of being loved , but her protective brother , james warns that if

at this point i cannot believe that i , lindy blues , am covering the theft of one , as in solo , single , uno silver dollar . but then again it has been a slow news week and i do need a good story for tonight’s show .
having recently watched what amounts to a seemingly endless parade of terrible excuses for glbt cinema , finally i have found a gem again and had my faith restored . dorian blues has obviously been made on the cheap but the incisive , relevant and realistic writing and winning lead performance ( michael mcmillian ) help sell this touching film . dorian ' s family is fairly typical in terms of this kind of film but the interactions between him and his elder brother and his complicated relationship with his father are deftly played and the confrontation at the end of the film by his friends and his mother both surprises and feels utterly accurate and doubly poignant for that . dorian himself is a fantastic character - quick witted but not selfish with it , he is friendly , charming , slightly goofy but with an undercurrent of quiet rage that he does not have an outlet for . this is a quietly brilliant film .
in our previous lesson , we toyed with some variations on the minor blues progression , and hopefully you can now hear the difference between them . now let ' s use the minor 7 chord as a tool to help us understand the much - hyped subject of modes .

this commingling creates a major / minor tonality—or mixo - bluesian , if you will . play through the modern blues lick in figure 2 for an example of this push - pull concept . key moments are the minor 3rd to major 3rd ( c–c # ) moves , the minor 3rd to major 2nd ( c–b ) slide , and the strategic placement of the f # ( major 6th ) notes . using this example as a blueprint , revisit some of your favorite a blues scale licks and try drafting a few c # , f # or b notes onto them .
high school senior dorian begins a gay man ' s odyssey when he determines that he ' s gay and decides to come out . chief among concerns is the reaction of his father , who has never liked him .
moral duplicity and self - indulgence are evident in dorian ' s patronising the opium dens of london . wilde conflates the images of the upper - class man and lower - class man in dorian gray , a gentleman slumming for strong entertainment in the poor parts of london town . lord henry philosophically had earlier said to him that :
crime belongs exclusively to the lower orders . . . . i should fancy that crime was to them what art is to us , simply a method of procuring extraordinary sensations
—implying that dorian is two men , a refined aesthete and a coarse criminal . that authorial observation is a thematic link to the double life recounted in
somewhat lighter than the other movies i ' ve watched today , but still poignant and pertinent . i know dorian all too well , and i feel his pain . but it is a movie well worth the time spent to watch it .

the end result is a nine - note scale ( 1 - 2 - b3 - 3 - 4 - b5 - 5 - 6 - b7 ) containing both major ( 3rd ) and minor ( b3rd , b7th ) tonalities as well as blues ( b5th ) and chromatic ( 2nd degree through the 5th ) properties . this makes it an ideal choice for coloring dominant 7th chords and mixolydian progressions .
to me , dorian blues presented a light - hearted take on coming out of the closet yet , at the same time , brought to light the emotional roller - coaster that most of us have to ride on at some stage or another when sweeping our closets clean of our gay skeletons . totally devoid of gratuitous male nudity , the producers did a good job of presenting a rather tired coming out theme in a very different light - finding oneself doesn ' t always lead to true love although , if one wants to find true love , one certainly needs to find oneself first . while it may not be the most memorable gay - themed movie i ' ve ever watched , it ' s certainly worth watching .

in book 2 of plato ' s the republic , glaucon and adeimantus present the myth of the ring of gyges , by means of which gyges made himself invisible . they then ask socrates ,
if one came into possession of such a ring , why should he act justly ?
socrates replies that although no one can see one ' s body , the soul is disfigured by the evils one commits . the disfigured and corrupted soul ( antithesis of the beautiful soul ) is imbalanced and disordered , and , in itself , is undesirable , regardless of any advantage derived from acting unjustly . the picture of dorian gray is the means by which other people , such as his friend basil hallward , may see dorian ' s distorted soul .
deciding that only full confession will absolve him of wrongdoing , dorian decides to destroy the last vestige of his conscience , and the only piece of evidence remaining of his crimes — the picture . in a rage , he takes the knife with which he murdered basil hallward , and stabs the picture . the servants of the house awaken on hearing a cry from the locked room ; on the street , passers - by who also heard the cry call the police . on entering the locked room , the servants find an unknown old man , stabbed in the heart , his face and figure withered and decrepit . the servants identify the disfigured corpse by the rings on its fingers which belonged to their master ; beside him is the picture of dorian gray , restored to its original beauty .
i believe the best way to learn modes is to play chord vamps that capture the true sound of the mode . each mode has a sound and when you think of the mode you need to think of the sound that it creates when used , so here are two modal vamps that outline these two modes . fig . 3 is an aeolian vamp and fig . 4 is based in dorian .

it is quite true that i have worshipped you with far more romance of feeling than a man usually gives to a friend . somehow , i had never loved a woman . i suppose i never had time . perhaps , as harry says , a really grande passion is the privilege of those who have nothing to do , and that is the use of the idle classes in a country .

when lindy blues , your nose for news , gets a call that there’s been a bank robbery , she jumps into action . she heads for the white house – the one on 14th and flamingo , the home of joshua and amy becker . when she learns there’s only one silver dollar missing from amy’s “world bank , ” lindy can’t believe an important reporter would be asked to cover such a small story . but it’s a slow news week and she needs a scoop . will lindy solve the mystery of the missing coin by tonight’s news show ? tune in and find out !
backed by a drum - tight band , winwood cleaved to his beloved hammond b3 organ ( complete with bass pedals that had him engaged in an almost subterranean pirouette at times ) for a pair of tentative openers , including the spencer davis group ' s i ' m a man . after that , though , this musical dorian gray temporarily yielded his keyboards to saxophone and flute genius paul booth , wielding his guitar with the zeal of a man possessed .
( basil about dorian )
he has stood as paris in dainty armour , and as adonis with huntsman ' s cloak and polished boar - spear . crowned with heavy lotus - blossoms , he has sat on the prow of adrian ' s barge , looking into the green , turbid nile . he has leaned over the still pool of some greek woodland , and seen in the water ' s silent silver the wonder of his own beauty .
if you play the white keys on the piano , you have the notes c - d - e - f - g - a - b , commonly referred to as the c major scale . when we play through these notes starting on the second tone , we get d - e - f - g - a - b - c . the notes are the same , but we ' re treating d as the root . we ' re taught to call this the dorian mode .
in the magazine edition ( 1890 ) , basil tells lord henry how he
worships
dorian , and begs him not to
take away the one person that makes my life absolutely lovely to me .
in the magazine edition , basil concentrates upon love , whereas , in the book edition ( 1891 ) , basil concentrates upon his art , saying to lord henry , “the one person who gives my art whatever charm it may possess : my life as an artist depends on him .
world view corrupts dorian , who then successfully emulates him . to the aristocrat harry , the observant artist basil says ,
you never say a moral thing , and you never do a wrong thing .
lord henry takes pleasure in impressing , influencing , and even misleading his acquaintances ( to which purpose he bends his considerable wit and eloquence ) but appears not to observe his own hedonistic advice , preferring to study himself with scientific detachment . his distinguishing feature is total indifference to the consequences of his actions . scholars generally accept the character is partly inspired by wilde ' s friend
the single received mostly positive reviews from critics . dorian lynskey of the guardian raved that
fell in love with a boy
is the best track from the soul sessions as well as
the freshest and most deliciously inauthentic .
[ 9 ] popmatters reviewer jason macneil commented that stone gives the song
a groove - riddled , funky hip - shaker that never loses momentum .
[ 10 ] rolling stone said the tune sounded like
a lost memphis - soul classic .
[ 11 ] however , jim greer of entertainment weekly regarded her version as
the only misguided ploy
on the album . [ 12 ] andrew mcgregor wrote for bbc music that it
blends so well into the funky soul landscape that those less familiar with contemporary rock might miss the ironic juxtaposition altogether .

a shocking video has emerged showing a woman giving birth standing up while out shopping before casually walking home with her child a few minutes later .
however , spousal rights to divorce remain unequal . for example , under the greek - orthodox personal status laws a husband , but not a wife , can divorce if he discovers after the wedding that she was not a virgin , provided that he gives a statement to this effect to the court in the first days of the marriage .
some of the women at the screening were not too pleased with the contents of said goodie bags ― especially given that “wonder woman” is a superhero film about female strength that largely challenges gender stereotypes .
however , the woman is indeed divorced according to the religious law without the religious court’s certification , and there are no binding court decisions that oblige the man to pay the deferred mahr and the three months maintenance unless the woman files separate lawsuits to recover her rights . furthermore , divorces not filed with religious courts are not recorded or enforced by the personal status department of the ministry of interior , meaning the women are still registered under their husband’s name according to the civil authorities .
wonder woman not only sets out to save the world by bringing the first world war to an early end , she joins other hollywood - style films in helping to protect london neighbourhoods .
significantly , a woman loses her right to spousal maintenance on the date the severance suit is filed , not the date the judgment is issued , regardless of the duration of the suit . the supreme sunni court ruled , “the appellant’s obligation of maintenance expires on the date on which the appellee files a severance suit . ”

the court of cassation justifies its position in light of article 95 of the code of civil procedure , which states that the plenary assembly of the court of cassation may consider “challenges to a ruling issued by a christian , islamic and druze court on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction or because it violates the fundamental doctrines related to the public order . ” the court says this article gives it no authority to arbitrate the content of religious decrees , but limits its oversight to questions of jurisdiction and violations of the fundamental doctrines of the public order .

patty jenkins '
wonder woman
ranks as the most ambitious superhero movie in recent memory , a grand and splashy world war i epic unafraid to pose heady philosophical questions , even daring to assess the moral net - worth of humans .
a sovereign divorce is an order issued by a shia religious authority divorcing a shia woman from her husband , either due to non - payment of spousal maintenance , harm and ill treatment , or abandonment .
hayfa , a 48 - year - old woman married before the sunni court when she was 15 , said her husband divorced her more than seven times before she succeeded in having the divorce certified before the court so that she could claim some of her financial rights .
the legal status , condition , or relationship that results from a contract by which one man and one woman , who have the capacity to enter into such an agreement , mutually promise to live together in the relationship of husband and wife in law for life , or until the legal termination of the relationship .
one of the most infamous examples is the death of alexandra dewitt , the then - girlfriend of green lantern kyle rayner ; she was killed by major force and stuffed into her refrigerator for kyle to find . backlash was so intense that it led to the formation of the women in refrigerators group to protest specifically against the preponderance of the disposable woman trope in superhero comics . green lantern writer ron marz wrote a letter to the women in refrigerators website , attempting to justify the event he wrote that gave wir its name . he actually tried to use the fact that kyle rayner ' s girlfriend was meant to be the disposable woman from the beginning as an excuse !
the ‘isma is a woman’s right to divorce under sunni personal status law . there is also an equivalent right for shia women whereby they too can divorce themselves . in both cases the right should be specifically stipulated in the marriage contract in order for women to obtain it .
in fact , ygraine ' s death prior to the start of the show ( which begins the ban on magic ) and kara ' s death in the penultimate episode of the entire series , ( which results in mordred ' s face heel turn ) means that the show essentially begins and ends with a woman ' s plot triggering death .
in watchmen , the comedian shoots and kills the vietnamese woman , pregnant with his child , and blames dr . manhattan for not interfering . she only exists to show us how much of a jerkass the comedian is and how much dr . manhattan is detached from other people .
“i couldn’t prove i had paid for half the house we bought in the early years of our marriage , ” said rayya . “should a woman demand a receipt from her husband ? i didn’t even inquire about the registration procedures at the notary’s office at the time . i only learned from the lawyer i hired for the severance case that all the property was registered in my husband’s name . ”
women and lawyers working before the sunni and ja ` fari religious courts told human rights watch that the woman’s presence or absence at these court proceedings has no impact on the outcome of the lawsuit or the judgment . in certification lawsuits initiated by husbands the judge merely ascertains that the man wants to terminate his marriage and then issues the judgment without addressing any legal claims by the wife against her husband , even if she is present .
this condition does not apply to the father , who may marry or become involved with a woman other than the child’s mother with no similar consequences . a woman must choose , therefore , between maternal custody and her right to autonomy and to make decisions about the most intimate aspects of her life . in three cases , women interviewed by human rights watch who had maternal custody said that they chose to abstain from having any relationships , despite the fact that their ex - husbands could , so that they did not risk losing their children .
suzanne , a 44 - year - old woman married before the orthodox church in 1998 , had to give up all her financial rights in order to keep her 7 - year - old daughter until she reached the legal maternal custody age , which was nine at the time . she explained ,
wonder woman ,
which was directed by patty jenkins and starred israeli actress gal gadot , packed quite a punch for burbank - based warner bros . , hauling in more than $ 800 million in ticket sales worldwide .
three lawyers who regularly provide couples advice on shia and sunni marriage contracts told human rights watch that the issue is often a sore spot between prospective spouses , and the man’s relatives often do not hesitate to intervene to prevent him from “giving in” to the woman’s wish to share his right to divorce .
discriminatory provisions in personal status laws including in access to divorce and maternal custody and the absence of protective mechanisms , including adequate financial compensation , also affect a woman’s willingness to turn to the courts and enter into personal status law disputes even when she is in an abusive relationship .
“sovereign divorce” : shia women may also terminate their marriages through a “sovereign divorce , ” which requires a woman to obtain an order from a shia religious authority divorcing her from her husband . this order must then be certified by the ja ` fari court .
during the last months of her life , the teenager , who had a rare form of cancer , used the internet to investigate cryonics . known only as js , she sent a letter to the court : “i have been asked to explain why i want this unusual thing done . i’m only 14 years old and i don’t want to die , but i know i am going to . i think being cryo‐preserved gives me a chance to be cured and woken up , even in hundreds of years’ time .
faiz : several women borrow a rider gear ( only to be immediately knocked out of morph ) but the only woman to have one long - term , the original delta , operated mostly offscreen , only to die just before what would have been her first onscreen battle . harsh .
according to mashable and belgian news outlet vrt , on june 6 kinepolis held a ladies night screening of box office hit “wonder woman . ” the goodie bags given out that night included diet pill pamphlets , and cleaning products such as a dish sponge and a squeegee .
women also lose their rights to spousal maintenance if they file severance cases in the sunni courts or are found to be at fault for desertion in the christian courts . in these cases , a woman who purses a severance or files a desertion case often must choose between financial support and her ability to terminate the marriage .
the case perplexed the judge since the legally enumerated grounds for severance do not include sexual abuse of children . as a result , he had to establish the existence of marital hardship and discord for a specific period of time before ordering a severance . it took more than a year for the woman to obtain a severance decision , freeing her and her daughter from her husband .
women were also forced to cohabit with their husbands even when they attempted to undermine their financial rights . for example , the beirut sunni court ordered a woman to cohabit with her husband , although he admitted that she left home following an argument over his desire to reduce her
human rights watch attended a session of an islamic court involving a case against a woman where the lawyer for the father submitted a cd containing photos of the mother taken from her facebook page showing her out at night with her friends . the father’s lawyer based her entire argument for why the mother should not have the children on these photos , arguing that she had a dubious character because she drank alcohol . at the time of writing , the case was still before the court .
druze personal status law , art . 55 ; new code of family provisions for the sunni sect , art . 15 . the guide to ja ` fari justice refers to several conditions for women to get custody but none for fathers . to get maternal custody a woman must be “trustworthy and of good repute , and her child shall be subject to no moral or religious harm or excess in her care and under her upbringing . ” these conditions are similar to those specified by the sunni family code , with the difference being that the shia confession requires the mother to be muslim , based on the rule that no non - muslim woman shall have maternal custody over a muslim child .
in one case , a non - lebanese woman married a lebanese man she met in a nightclub where she worked . during their marriage they had a daughter and then divorced when the daughter was a year old . the father maintained primary care responsibilities for their child after the divorce despite the fact that she was still under the maternal custody age and the mother had obtained an order from the sunni first instance court in beirut requiring the father to return the child to her . the father appealed to the supreme court , which overturned the ruling of the first instance court , revoking maternal custody .

women assume many responsibilities both inside and outside the family but much of what they do remains out of sight and without material recompense . a woman’s partnership with a man in marriage and home - building , her work in her husband’s or family business and the labour of rural women are all examples of this .

- - like many action films of late - - succumbs to narrative bloat with protracted action sequences , superfluous secondary characters and a needlessly complicated structure . ( seriously , a flashback within a flashback ? )
a woman can request a sovereign divorce for non - payment of maintenance , harm , poor conjugal relations , or abandonment . although these are similar grounds to those for severance in the sunni and druze courts , authenticating the sovereign order in the ja ` fari courts to give it legal force involves added procedural , legal , and political considerations :
marriage , promise of . a promise of marriage is a contract entered into between a man and woman that they will marry each other . 2 . when the promise is made between persons competent to contract matrimony , an action lies for a breach of it . vide promise of marriage .
did your father’s family move from kanesatake or from oka ? there’s no online database of indian registration , its private information . the inac offices , however , do have all that information so you’d have to contact them . you could also contact the membership department at the mohawk council of kanesatake , the woman who runs it is named linda and the number to the band office is 450 - 479 - 8373 , i think .
marriage is a legally sanctioned contract between a man and a woman . entering into a marriage contract changes the legal status of both parties , giving husband and wife new rights and obligations . public policy is strongly in favor of marriage based on the belief that it preserves the family unit . traditionally , marriage has been viewed as vital to the preservation of morals and civilization .
is known . there is a prohibition ( in most western countries ) against marriage to other persons while the marriage subsists , this being restrained by the crime of bigamy . the basis of the institution is the permanent and indissoluble union of a man and woman . relaxation of divorce laws has made the permanence of the relationship de facto contingent . attempts have been made by homosexuals to marry but these have failed , instead alternative institutions have been established . ( see
as noted above , citing physical abuse is not sufficient cause for divorce in most personal status courts in lebanon . under the shia and sunni confessions , in cases in which a woman has the right to seek a divorce ( see section “unequal divorce laws” above ) she must prove that the abuse exceeds her husband’s legal authority to discipline his wife under the relevant personal status law .
the greek orthodox and evangelical confessions are distinguished by the allowances they make for compensation . article 74 of the greek orthodox personal status law permits the payment of damages without regard to liability for the annulment or dissolution in cases of indigence . in these cases , the court may order the man to pay a sum of money to allow the woman to “adjust to her new status , ” that is , secure a place to live , furnishings , and enough money to survive , after marriage .
they were yet to get a lead for almost close to a month , when a woman , sunita sharma , who was at bhayander police station on september 14 , identified the victim as ramcharan . the investigators visited ramcharan’s house and found out that his mother , rajni , had earlier visited the police station , but failed to identify her son’s body .
severance is not recognized under shia personal status law and the only option for a shia woman who does not include her right to end the marriage in her marriage contract is to seek relief from a ja ` fari religious authority , who can be outside the religious court and can divorce her on behalf of her husband—a practice known as “sovereign divorce . ”
maternal custody rights , unlike paternal guardianship rights , are time - bound , conditional , and revocable , either due to a legal end to maternal custody , a judgment of maternal unfitness , or in some cases because a woman relinquishes these rights as part of a settlement .
the case was dismissed because of a failure to exhaust domestic remedies , but two committee members dissented and addressed the criteria that the local court should have considered . the dissenting members observed that the local court had failed to award ‘decent’ alimony , and should have considered the woman’s years of unpaid work in the family while her husband advanced his career and income , her uncertain financial situation , her lack of work experience outside the home , and her prospects of finding work and supporting herself at her age .

or he may challenge the veracity of the authorization of the sheikh who oversaw the divorce , if one did so .
in nine cases before the sunni courts reviewed by human rights watch in which the judges revoked maternal custody before the cut off age they did so due to “unfitness” for example because of the woman’s ( different ) religious affiliation , lack of “proper religious education” for children , long hours at work , or “questionable” social behaviors or remarriage , and not based on an examination of the best interests of the child ( see section “loss of maternal custody rights” below ) .

in a judgment issued by the supreme sunni court on december 22 , 2010 , the court overturned the first instance ruling granting maternal custody during the maternal custody period , citing the best interest of the child : “the mother / appellee is preoccupied with her job , working from morning until the evening , and she lives with her elderly grandmother . ” similarly , a sunni first instance court revoked a woman’s maternal custody of her four - year - old son because “she is distracted from his upbringing and places him in care centers . ”

unfortunately bill c - 3 only gives status to grandchildren of women who enfranchised through marriage and not to those who enfranchised through application . this is the case in my family . my grandmother enfranchised through application after 2 of my uncles were born so they had / have status and were able to pass it on to their children ( my first cousins ) . the rest of my grandmother’s children , including my mother did not get status until 1985 , and non of their children ( including me ) got status , and can still not get it after bill c - 3 .

in another case before the beirut ja ` fari court , the woman in a cohabitation case testified that she left the marital home after her husband expelled her following arguments over money , because she refused to turn over stocks registered in her name . the husband denied this and said that she left home without his knowledge . relying only on his testimony , the judge declared the wife to be recalcitrant and revoked her right to spousal maintenance “because she did not make herself available to him and left the marital home . ”
the religious courts’ concept of recalcitrance applies to women who have left their marital homes and who have refused to cohabit with their husbands . a court may order a woman who has left the marital home to cohabit with her husband . if she refuses the court can issue a judgment of recalcitrance which can then be used to revoke her right to maternal custody unless she can establish a legally sanctioned reason for leaving the marital home .

age is an additional requirement . every jurisdiction mandates that a man and a woman must be old enough to wed . in the 1800s , the legal age was as low as 12 years old for females . modern statutes ordinarily provide that females may marry at age 16 and males at age 18 . sometimes a lower age is permitted with the written consent of the parents . a number of states allow for marriage below the minimum age if the female is pregnant and a judge grants permission .
