    Your post is a bit confusing

    Did you marry this guy? Did they know you were dating him? How old is he?

    Welcome to AMHD. Just relax and answer your parents as truthfully as possible under the circumstances. This situation sounds like it may be a huge blessing for you; punt the boyfriend, OK?

    First, it is not a good idea to list your e-mail on a public post, so it was removed. Please communicate through the site by posting replies to this thread.

    If I understand you, you are 16 and your boyfriend is 18 or older. It was reported that he was having sex with you (not with another 16 yr old) and he's in trouble for that. But you think its OK since you were planning on marrying him. I am also gathering that its your parents who are making the trouble for him because they are unaware of your marriage plans.

    The decision to get married is one that is best made when grown up. From your post you are anything but grown up. You really need to sit down with your parents and tell them everything. Try to convinve them that you are serious about this guy but that you understand you are too young to be married at this time.

    Scottgem has given wonderful advice. You do know that you would not be able to wed without your parents permission, correct? Or do you mean you intended to marry when you are old enough?

    Regardless, you need to get yourself together and talk to your parents. It might prevent things from getting out of hand.

    I merged the two threads. Please don't start a new thread, just use thre Answer This Question, Quick Reply or Quote User options to provide follow-up.

    My advice still stands, please talk to your parents and tell them you are willing to wait until you are 18. That you know your love can endure the wait. You do need to provide more details like how old is he. What was he arrested for?

    Is my understanding of your situation correct?
