I'm 16 I live in the state of Florida. I'm 6 months pregnant and wanting to marry my 24 soon to be 25 year old boyfriend. Would he get into any kind of trouble if we get married my mom is willing to give consent and sign for us. But could he get into any kind of trouble?

If your mom is willing to give her consent to be married to your b/f, that is okay, but at the same time, he still had sex with a minor so you had better do some research first. I think is a double edged sword.

Of course he could be in trouble! It's statutory rape IF she was under the age of consent when she got pregnant. Marriage today doesn't change what happened yesterday.

A minor who presents a note from a Physician that she is pregnant does not need parental permission in Florida.

If your research is to the contrary, please post it.

I'm pretty sure that if your mom consents, you might be able to Marry him. But because he had sex with a minor, this could end VERY badly for him. I'm not sure what the Flordia law is, so don't quote me, but I get the impression that even if your mother had consented to the sex in the first place it would still be considered statutory rape, and she might possibly get in trouble for allowing it.
Like I said, I am NOT sure if this is true or not, but it could be, so I thought I should at least throw it out there.

Yes you can get a marriage license with proof of pregnancy. But you are also below the age of consent so, his having sex with you could get him charged with statutory rape.

You're right - the mother could be charged with parental neglect, lack of supervision (if SOMEONE decides to charge him).

She does not need her mother's consent to marry because she is pregnant - it's covered in my post.

Yeah this is what I thought.

794.05 Unlawful sexual activity with certain minors.--

(1) A person 24 years of age or older who engages in sexual activity with a person 16 or 17 years of age commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. As used in this section, "sexual activity" means oral, anal, or vaginal penetration by, or union with, the sexual organ of another; however, sexual activity does not include an act done for a bona fide medical purpose.


Getting married is the least of his concerns. 2nd degree felony in FL carries 15 years plus sexual offender registry.
