I read somewhere that if your pregnant and in florida georgia or maryland you can marry the man that fathers your child if your 16 with proof from a consultant that you are in fact pregnant without parent consent. is that true.
the only reason i come to this site is to be sure about what i hear.
so please be sure that the info you give me is accurate -

Quoting katsie
(1) If either of the parties shall be under the age of 18 years but at least 16 years of age, the county court judge or clerk of the circuit court shall issue a license for the marriage of such party only if there is first presented and filed with him or her the written consent of the parents or guardian of such minor to such marriage, acknowledged before some officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments and administer oaths. However, the license shall be issued without parental consent when both parents of such minor are deceased at the time of making application or when such minor has been married previously.
(2) The county court judge of any county in the state may, in the exercise of his or her discretion, issue a license to marry to any male or female under the age of 18 years, upon application of both parties sworn under oath that they are the parents of a child.
(3) When the fact of pregnancy is verified by the written statement of a licensed physician, the county court judge of any county in the state may, in his or her discretion, issue a license to marry:
(a) To any male or female under the age of 18 years upon application of both parties sworn under oath that they are the expectant parents of a child; or
(b) To any female under the age of 18 years and male over the age of 18 years upon the female's application sworn under oath that she is an expectant parent.
(4) No license to marry shall be granted to any person under the age of 16 years, with or without the consent of the parents, except as provided in subsections (2) and (3). -

thanks happy trails.
just to be sure of what i read can you tell me if i understand fully
i have to have parents consent, unless parents are deceased...
then if i have parent consent the court will only grant the marriage license if im pregnant? -

If your mom consents, you don't have to go in front of a judge.
