I'm supervising a student doing her honors research this semester. She
is collecting data among women in a domestic violence shelter. The
questionnaires are anonymous so we only have the information that we
collected (no way to go back and gather more information). Now to my
question. One of the participants is 17 years old and married. Is a
married person an adult and therefore does not need permission from
his/her parents to be a research participant? That is, can she give her
own consent to participate?
