Can an 18-year-old from Mississippi get married and live in Tennessee without their parents making them move back home?

Answer

Once you're 18 you are considered a legal adult and can do whatever you like.

No.

The Mississippi has two age of majority laws one is constitutional (21) and one is statutory.

The constitutional law (21) regulates the age at which a person can marry without parental consent.

Minors cannot cross state lines as regulated under federal law without parental consent.

(18 United States Code 2243, 18 USC 2423).

It would be necessary to list your home state on the application of the marriage license and without having parental consent the license would be denied.
