    There are no laws covering relationships. However, it would be illegal for you to have a sexual relationship.

    But the key here is her parents. If her parents say she can't date you, then you would be in legal trouble if you tried to.

    If the police get involved then you could face arrest and even face jail time with a record that can follow you for a lifetime. You need to steer clear of this relationship.

    But the police are not involved, so the relationship is legal?

    If her parents are giving her permission to date you (dating does not mean sex) then yes, it's legal. But if she's dating you behind their backs, and they're unaware that she's dating you, than it's illegal.

    I'm guessing you're worried because her parents don't know, and haven't agreed to let the two of you date, otherwise why would you be asking if it's okay?
