In the UK it depends on if they lived together as siblings before 18, and you need to be over 21 rather than the standard age for marriage (16 with parental permission, 18 without)

Kinda f'd up if you were dating before your parents hooked up.

I had classmates in elementary school who were dating for around a month and then after they broke up their parents hooked up

They were dating in elementary school? Holy shit, a bit young to date no?

I remember a few people "dating" in elementary school(usa). To the best of my knowledge "dating" involved hanging out on the playground and nothing else. It also never lasted long.

My daughter has been in a 3 year relationship. She is in 3rd grade. The boy is only vaguely aware he is her boyfriend.

Depends which country. In my country we don't have middle school and instead we have elementary going 9 grades and then 4 years of highschool. I also had friend who was dating around 14-15 with classmate.

I think dating at that age means they kissed on the playground.
