How old does a best man have to be?
My best friend is getting married and her fiance asked his 14 year old brother to be the best man. But it brings up a question does the best man have to be a legal age since he has to sign as a witness on the marriage liscense?

The best man can be any age. I don't know of any state that requires that the best man sign as a witness, only that "a" witness sign. If the witness has to be of legal age, just have someone in attendance other than the best man sign.

The best man can be any age but I'm not sure if he can sign the marriage license or not. But any "witness" can sign it, it doesn't have to be the best man, that is just tradition. The only other problem with having a minor as the best man is that they duty of throwing an awesome bachelor party will have to be delegated to someone else. But its sweet that he wants his younger brother to be the best man!

No, the best man could be 4 if you wanted him to be. There is no legality to being the best man.

No doubt the religious group they are connected to has procedures for such like a 2nd witness to cunter sign.

well in my case he better be old enough to throw a ripping good bachelor party complete with all the adult fun he can get his hands on.
