Dissilusioned Posted at 6:58 pm on Nov. 26, 2008 No. Loco parentis just means in place of a parent. If you still have parents, then you can't get married unless they approve it. Innuendo Girl Posted at 6:56 pm on Nov. 26, 2008 It means someone in place of a parent who takes on parental duties. I think. Special Agent Orange Posted at 6:55 pm on Nov. 26, 2008 in loco parentis means the parent or guardian who is responsible for you. could also be a teacher, or somebody who is in charge of you in place of your mother or father. i believe its latin... if not my bad. honeybee3333 Posted at 6:55 pm on Nov. 26, 2008 in loco parentis means legal guardian. not related.
