Can I marry my Girlfriend who has a student visa and leave the country and come back before we start her paper?

Her parents want her to get married in Brazil but I think if we get married with a marriage license there it would mess up her student visa to come back. So I was wondering if we could get married here and travel to Brazil before we start her papers for a green card?

Your marriage does not change anything about her Student Visa. As long as she's a student in full compliance with her visa she can exit and reenter the USA as long as her F-1 Visa is good. If you get married in the USA you could file everything, including an application for advance parole (I-131), that will allow her to exit the USA while her papers are being processed and then reenter the USA. As long as she's in status when she files she's okay.
