Here’s why Tyson Fury’s daughter Venezuela could legally marry at the age of 16

Venezuela got married to Noah Price over the weekend.

However a lot of people watching online have one obvious question: how is this legal when she's only 16?

The 16-year-old tied the knot with her 19-year-old fiancé at the Victorian Royal Chapel of St John's, a year on from their engagement during Venezuela's birthday celebrations in 2025.

Cameras were rolling for the family's Netflix series At Home with the Furys, with Paris in pale blue, Tyson walking his daughter down the aisle in a black tuxedo, and a bridal party of around a dozen.

So how could she legally get married at 16?

Well she couldn't — not in England, anyway. But the Isle of Man isn't England.

In England and Wales, you must be 18 or older to legally marry or enter a civil partnership. That age limit was raised from 16 in February 2023, scrapping the previous loophole that allowed 16 and 17-year-olds to wed with parental consent.

The Isle of Man, however, is a self-governing Crown Dependency with its own laws and its minimum age for marriage remains 16, provided the under-18s involved have their parents' consent.

Anyone over 18 doesn't need parental sign-off.

The Fury family moved to the island earlier this year after security breaches at their previous home in Morecambe, meaning Venezuela now lives in a jurisdiction where the marriage is entirely above board.

The marriage of a 16-year-old to a 19-year-old has prompted plenty of comment online.

Speaking on This Morning recently, Paris Fury said: "Venezuela is so mature for her years. She's done so much in such a short time just because of who she is and the fact that she's got six younger brothers and sisters that she's helped bring up, I can't deny it.

"I can't deny her because I was 17 when I got engaged. She's obviously following in my footsteps, so how can I judge her in any way. I know she's young. But I think she's found the person she loves and if she's happy, I will completely support her."

Noah Price is an amateur boxer who won a 91kg youth title with Chesterfield ABC in 2024 and works within his family's business when he's not in the gym.

The pair are said to have first connected over Instagram before meeting in person at York Races.

The whole thing is expected to feature in an upcoming series of At Home with the Furys on Netflix.
