He might want to wait til she's 18. There is a federal law, called the Mann Act. It prohibits "transporting a minor across state lines for immoral purposes."
It was originally written back in 1911 to prevent Black men from travelling across state lines with White women (that's why Mann Act violations used to be called "White Slavery").
But, the law as written applys to men and women of any race.
If her parents aren't cool with him taking her to Oklahoma, he might have a problem.
Of course, he could use the old pimp's trick of drivng the car to a state line, making the girl get out, having her physically walk into the next state, and picking her up on the other side of the state line.

you're good. The police officials probably received't make an effort to locate someone who's 17. besides the indisputable fact that, do not ignore that at 17 you may't legally get a pastime or a cellular telephone or an residing house or enroll in college or be conscious for help or do some thing in any respect, extremely. hence, you'd be one hundred% depending on yoru boyfriend and his kin to thoroughly assist you. So, if he cheats on you and also you want to split, you need to slink all the in the previous to Indiana besides, until eventually you want to stay on the streets. yet, relationships at 17 are continually so reliable, so as that'll under no circumstances take position good? Please a minimum of use a condom...we do not choose extra of you operating round.

If he's that scared why not marry the girl or wait the year for her to turn 18? Also if he is doing this without her parents permission, and taking her out of school (and state) then he needs to be charged.
P.S: She's 17 (as you told us), How old is the guy?

YES! He could get arrested unless he is the legal guardian of this child, if she is 17 might as well wait a couple of months until she turns 18 and is legal to do what she wants.

How old is he? Because if he is over 18, she isnt a woman..shes a child. And especially if the parents are unaware, yes they could both get in trouble.
For the retard who keeps thumbs downing everyone who says she isnt a woman...physically, yes shes a woman..mentally, NO
Especially if she decided to run off at that age.

There are some answers to some questions you need to know first.. like do the parents know they're going out?, did she go to court to move out? and Is she okay with that? If the answers are yes then no they won't. If the answers are no then probably.

17 year old woman is not an old woman. She is 17 years old girl. I think, you need to tell your friend to make sure he be careful of that.
