Why Venezuela Fury could be married aged 16 after Tyson's blessing

The reason why Tyson Fury's eldest daughter Venezuela, 16, was able to marry husband Noah Price,19, has been revealed.

During a lavish wedding ceremony on the Isle of Man on Saturday, May 16, Venezuela Fury, the eldest daughter of former heavyweight champion Tyson, married her boyfriend Price.

The ceremony comes just eight months after the teenager's boxer boyfriend popped the question during her 16th birthday party on September 26.

Around 120 guests are believed to have attended the wedding, including most of the Fury family with only Tommy, Tyson's half-brother, and Tyson’s dad John absent from the celebrations.

John's absence from the wedding didn't come as much of a surprise to many after he expressed his disliking of Venezuela being in a relationship due to her age during episodes of Netflix documentary At Home With The Fury's.

"On my watch, a 15-year-old should never have a boyfriend, ever," he claimed.

"They're children! I don't think she's mature enough for anything like - she's still a baby."

And John wasn't the only one to express concerns with the marriage due to the fact that, in England and Wales, the legal age to marry is 18, having once been 16 with parental consent.

However, Venezuela and Noah were still able to get married despite being under the legal age to marry in England and Wales due to the Fury family's decision to move to the Isle of Man from their long-time home in Morecambe, Lancashire.

Tyson and Paris decided to make the move to the an £8million countryside mansion near capital city Douglas.primarily due to security and privacy concerns.

Because of the move, Venezuela and Noah were able to marry as laws in the Isle of Man state that the anyone aged 16 can be married as long as they have parental consent while anyone over 18 does not need it.

And although John wasn't a fan of the marriage, another episode of At Home With The Fury's showed Tyson giving Noah his blessing to marry his eldest daughter ahead of the big proposal, therefore meaning the marriage could take place legally.

On top of that, Venezuela received the blessing of her mum after asking her to be 'best woman', telling The Sun: "Because no one else was old enough to be a witness.”

Discussing the wedding, Paris said said on This Morning: “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.

“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."

Tyson on the other hand, admitted in his wedding speech that, although they had his blessing, he had told the pair not to get married yet.

He said: “I’ve had a f**king very good time, excuse me, French.

“Venezuela and Noah, I told you, you shouldn’t have done it, didn’t I?

“But now you’ve done it; you’ve done it.”

He then joked: “I hope you have 45 healthy children and a long life and happiness.”
