Yep, a death row inmate can certainly get married, as many of the ladies on here can state, that are very happy.
No, they cant have children while they are in prison, I dont believe that there is any state that has conjugal visits for men on death row. But marriage is a CERTAIN yes

I married my husband, who is on Arizona death row, on the 15th of June. So, yes on the marriage. But, as far as I know noone on the row gets to practice making babies. All I would want to do is practice, but the state of Arizona definitely says no.
There have been alot of women out here marry Texas DR inmates. One of them will come along and give you some information I'm sure. I do know you have to get married by Proxy. I got married in Texas by Proxy, but we are in Ohio.
I too would like to just "practice" myself, but Texas says no also

"By proxy" means that you go to the court house and get papers, he fills them out and names a 'proxy' or person for him to stand in for him at the actual wedding.
Thank you for educating me - it doesn't sound to romantic - but defiantly better than nothing
Is the inmate allowed to wear a wedding band if the couple chooses to have them?
No, they can not have a ring. The only way they are allowed is if they were married and had a ring prior to going into the system (and that is straight from the warden's office when I went through it)
I'm pretty sure in Texas you can have a ring, but it has to be plain and less than a certain amount. Dont quote me on that, i'm not sure where I heard that.
Hi there, I am new to the site and hope you dont mind if I post a few questions on various threads. I am neither a partner or family member of an incarcerated loved one, but have an interest in criminal justice. May I ask you wives and partners of men on death row how on earth you keep motivated, strong and committed? I admire your strength and your will but I dont think Id have the same amount of courage to marry a man on death row. How do you put yourselves through it?
I hope i havent offended anyone by asking so directly, just seeking knowledge.
Hi
I have a friend on death row in Florida who got married to a lady from Norway last year. The other states I am not sure of>
Peace, Love,Light,Laughter
