In my opinion, what is preventing her is her parents. She
can't just get up and leave and join Romeo because of
them.
You have to remember a couple of things. First of
all, she's only 14. And this is in a time and place where I doubt she was carrying
money around to get her to Mantua. In addition, women just didn't go around alone in
those days.
Second of all, her parents don't know she's
married to Romeo. So it's not like they're going to say "okay, you're his now, go to
him."
Maybe she should have told them and maybe they would
have let her go then. But I imagine she didn't want to tell them just then because of
how mad they would get.
