My son is 18 years old and wants to date a girl who is 16 years old and will turn 17 years old in 2 weeks. Is this legal?

Parents' rules come first. What do hers say?

Dating is legal, but you better talk to her parents because though the age of consent for sex is 16, a young fellow can still be in trouble if the parents don't want her dating this fellow.

Think interference of custodial authority, if they don't want him around their daughter.

Before deciding to post on a site like this, it pays to browse around a bit to see if there are similar questions. This is a frequently asked questions and the answer is there are no laws in most of the world governing an age gap for dating. All the laws involve sexual activity.

The age of consent in Maine is 16. However, being under 18 she is still under her parents control. So its really up to her parents. If they do not object then there should be no legal problems. And your son should be the ones to talk to her parents, not you.
