The Craziest Question In The History Of Ever

I was asked a moment ago at the courthouse, "Can the parents of a sixteen year old girl consent to the marriage of their daughter to a 61 year old registered sex offender?" That's not one that I know the answer to the top of my head. But if I had to guess, I'd guess the answer is "yes". Edit: Apparently the question had arisen when someone was trying to obtain a marriage license from the county clerk's office.
