Depends on the state you are in...but generally, yes, you can get married with parental consent.....I'm going to leave it at that and forgo the lecture on being 16 and married.

I can totally understand why you'd feel jealous. I myself am a pregnant teen and I do get a lot of positive attention and support. So far it has been a really great experience for me, but only because I am a very lucky person. A lot of teenage girls don't have the support and help that they need to raise their baby in a stable environment. But you have to realize, although everyone is being really nice to her, there are also tons of people being completely awful to her. She's more than likely getting treated appallingly by many people, but you just don't notice that. It's not as enjoyable as it looks from the outside. Even though I don't regret getting pregnant and I already love my baby more than I could possibly love anything else, it would be a much better experience if I were even just a few years older.

She may be able to consent. It depends on what state you live in. Some will allow a marriage at 16 with parental consent, some won't. Call your county courthouse and ask them what the rules are. The only one that could possibly be in trouble is your boyfriend because you are under age (statutory rape). That also depends on what state you are in. Really the only way he could be in trouble is if someone pushes the issue though. More than likely, if your parents are OK with the relationship, the law won't step in.

Yes, you could get married with your parents consent in certain states. You shouldn't worry about your Mom getting in trouble, you should worry about that boyfriend going to jail because you are "jail bait." It is against the law for a 23 year old to have sex with a 16 year old. You both have created a mess. Good luck, You will need it.

You could very well get married with your mother's consent. Because you are pregnant, doesn't mean that you have to get married. You are young, and there are options to getting married so young. I won't say that you are ready to be a parent, but I will say that I think you are much more less ready to be a wife. Take all things into consideration before you take that giant step, and don't think about divorce when things get rough.

In most states you can go before a judge and become emancipated (viewed by the courts as an adult) if you have good reason. Also in most states one of your legal parents can 'sign' for you to be married at 16. However, the odds are against you and him surviving the young relationship. Consider all options and think of the child and place the childs welfare first.

I doubt that your mother would get into trouble by giving her consent for you to marry.
Please make sure that this is what you want. Have a serious talk with the father of your unborn child and your mother. This may not be the best move.
Marriage is a very serious undertaking, don't take it lightly.

If that's what you want, you might be able to get consent at 16 since you're pregnant

I dont know what the laws are where you live but, I am pretty sure that with your moms consent you can get married.... Do you want to marry him because you love him and want to spend the rest of your life with him? Or, are you just going to marry him because you are having his child? This might sound bad, but, in my opinion if you dont love him and want to be with him for the rest of your life, dont marry him. Marriage is special and you really shouldnt just marry someone because you are having their child! I would suggest that you really think about this and figure out if marrying him is what you really want to do. If you love him, he loves you and you want to spend the rest of you lives together, get married! But, if you are thinking about marrying him just because you are pregnant please think about it first!... Also, please finish school! I know alot of people that had children when they were very young, they didnt finish school because of it and now they wish they had! Just please, make sure you really want to marry this guy before you do anything and finish school! I really hope everything works out for you! I wish you the best of luck! : )
