Can You Be Charged With Statutory Rape for Getting a 17-Year-Old Pregnant

If a court ordered DNA test proves he is the father. He will be ordered to pay child support until the child is 18

What can happen and what happens the vast majority of the time are quite different. Parents who attempt to keep the father of their grandchild completely marginalized and unable to interact at all with his child and the child's 17 year old mother are barking up a wrong tree. A judge would withhold consent to marry only for a very good reason. The parents objection alone would absolutely not be enough unless it was based on solid facts that made it clear that marriage was not in the best interest of the 17 year old and her baby.

Keep in mind, in just a matter of months what the parents want will make no difference whatsoever. Judges know that.
