Does marriage of teenagers with a child of their own automatically make them emancipated in Arizona, or is there something they need to do to become emancipated even after the marriage?

I looked at the Arizona statutes governing age of majority and emancipation. Unlike most states, Arizona does not appear to automatically grant emancipation upon marriage, although there may be a statute I did not find. No state grants automatic emancipation on the basis that a minor has had a child.
